Use these calculations to assist you:

60 sec per minute x 60 mins per hour x 24 hours per day x 365 days per year = 31,536,000 sec in a year

60 sec per minute x 60 mins per hour x 24 hours per day = 86,400 sec in a day

60 sec per minute x 60 mins per hour = 3,600 sec in an hour

How long is one million seconds?

HINT: You can see from above it is less than a year, so divide by 86,400 to get how many days it is, then take the remainder and divide by 3,600 to get hours, take that remainder and divide by 60 to get minutes, then you should just have the remaining seconds

b)

13 days, 11 hours, 24 minutes, 20 seconds
