A satellite is placed in its orbit in 7 hours 16 minutes 20 seconds. Calculate it in seconds

Answer 1

The satellite reaches its orbit in 7 hours + 16 minutes + 20 seconds
= (7 $\times$ 60 $\times$ 60) seconds +(16 $\times$ 60) seconds +20 seconds
= 25200 seconds + 960 seconds + 20 seconds
= 26,180 seconds
The satellite reaches its orbit in 26,180 seconds
