Question

this metric prefix means 1/10 or (one tenth) *
your answer

convert 13000 seconds to hours. *

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the metric - prefix

The metric prefix for one - tenth is deci, symbol 'd'.

Step2: Recall the time - conversion factor

We know that 1 hour = 3600 seconds. To convert seconds to hours, we divide the number of seconds by 3600.
Let \(t\) be the time in hours. Then \(t=\frac{13000}{3600}\).

Step3: Simplify the fraction

\(\frac{13000}{3600}=\frac{65}{18}\approx3.61\) hours.

Answer:

The metric prefix is deci; 13000 seconds is \(\frac{65}{18}\approx3.61\) hours.
