2.36 x 10^4 s= ? days
2.36E4 s x (1 min/60s) x (1 hr/60 min) x (1 day/24 hrs) = ?
To convert seconds to days, we need to know how many seconds are in a day.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. So, to find out how many seconds are in a day, we need to multiply these three numbers together:
60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours = 86,400 seconds
Now, we can solve the problem.
Given: 2.36 x 10^4 seconds
To express this number in scientific notation, we move the decimal point to the right until there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point:
2.36 x 10^4 seconds = 23.6 x 10^3 seconds
Now, we need to divide this number by the number of seconds in a day (86,400) to get the number of days:
(23.6 x 10^3 seconds) / 86,400 seconds = 0.273 days (approximately)
Therefore, 2.36 x 10^4 seconds is approximately equal to 0.273 days.
