A) 10,800 seconds
B) 11,250 seconds
C) 11,500 seconds
D) 12,000 seconds





Respuesta :

Answer:

B) 11250 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Units of time:

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore,

1 hour = (60 × 60) seconds

          = 3600 seconds

For [tex]3\frac{1}{8}[/tex] hours:

[tex]3\frac{1}{8} \ hours=(3\frac{1}{8}\times3600)\ seconds[/tex]

               [tex]=(\frac{25}{8} \times3600)\ seconds[/tex]

               [tex]=(25\times450)\ seconds[/tex]

               [tex]=11250\ seconds[/tex]

Final answer:

Vincent spends 11,250 seconds riding his bike each day.

Explanation:

To find the number of seconds Vincent spends riding his bike each day, we need to convert the given time from hours to seconds. 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds. 3 1/8 hours can be written as 3.125 hours. Multiplying 3.125 hours by 3600 seconds per hour, we get:



3.125 hours x 3600 seconds/hour = 11,250 seconds



Therefore, Vincent spends 11,250 seconds riding his bike each day.
