Question

Express the following in standard form:

Express 2 years in seconds.

Sum

Solution

Given, 2 years = 2 × 365 days   ...[∵ 1 year = 365 days approx]

= 2 × 365 × 24 hours   ...[∵ 1 day = 24 hours]

= 2 × 365 × 24 × 60 min  ...[∵ 1 hour = 60 min]

= 2 × 365 × 24 × 60 × 60 s  ...[∵ 1 min = 60 s]

= 63072000 s

Standard form of 63072000 = 63072 × 10 × 10 × 10    ...[∵ am × an × (a)m + n]

= 63072 × 103 

= 6.3072 × 103 × 104

= 6.3072 × 107 s
