Relation Between Time Units
As we all know, time is a continuous measurement that can be measured by various units for different periods of time. The most commonly used time measurement units are seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years.
The relationship between the most widespread time units is shown below.
- 1 second = 1,000 milliseconds
- 1 minute = 60 seconds
- 1 hour = 60 minutes
- 1 day = 24 hours
- 1 week = 7 days
- 1 month = 30 or 31 days (depending on the month), or 4 weeks
- 1 year = 12 months, or 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year)
Examples
This hour to seconds time converter tool works flawlessly, but it’s always a good idea to learn a little mathematics so that your work won’t be halted if you are unable to access the tool for some reason.
Two examples that have been solved below will walk you through the process of manually converting hours to seconds.
Example :
1. Convert 3 hours to seconds.
Solution :
The relationship between various time units has been studied, and we now know that one hour is equivalent to 60 minutes and 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds.
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
From the above time relation,
1 minute = 60 seconds
60 minutes = ? seconds
60 minute = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds
Therefore, to convert the number of hours to seconds, we will use the formula above.
Seconds = Hours × 3600
Seconds = 3 × 3600
Seconds = 10800 seconds.
3 Hours = 10800 Seconds.
Example :
2. Convert 1.5 hrs 35 min to minutes.
Solution :
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
From the above time relation,
1 minute = 60 seconds
60 minutes = ? seconds
60 minute = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds
Therefore, to convert the number of hours to seconds, we will use the formula above.
Seconds = Hours × 3600
Seconds = 1.5 × 3600
Seconds = 5400 seconds.
1.5 Hours = 5400 Seconds.
