Answer:

23,040 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a plane ride lasts 6.4 hours. We are asked to find the number of seconds, the plane ride lasted.

We know that 1 minute equals 60 seconds.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 60*60 (3600) seconds.

To find the number of seconds the plane ride lasted, we will multiply 6.4 by 3600.

[tex]\text{The plane ride lasted}=6.4\text{ hours}\times \frac{\text{3600 seconds}}{\text{ hour}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{The plane ride lasted}=6.4\text{ hours}\times \text{3600 seconds}[/tex]

[tex]\text{The plane ride lasted}=23040\text{ seconds}[/tex]

Therefore, the plane ride lasted for 23,040 seconds.
