Answer:
So to calculate this we will need to use the Sexagesimal System. (By Babylonians)
According to this,
1 hr = 60 mins. ————————————(1)
1 mins. = 60 sec. ———————————(2)
Given,
No. of sec = ? = x
No. of hrs = 1 hr & 20 mins
No. of mins. = 60 + 20 = 80 mins ———(1)
“No. of Sec = Total no. of Mins. X One Min.”
x = 80 mins. X 60 sec.
x = 4800
No. of Sec = 4800
[ Note :- The above Formula or Format represent by quotation marks is done / added by me, as i felt it was logical to the calculation. I really don't know, if is this really being use in mathematical calculations . So plz confirm before applying.]
