To convert 13 hours into seconds we have to multiply 13 by the conversion factor in order to get the time amount from hours to seconds. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 hr → 3600 s

13 hr → T_(s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in seconds:

T_(s) = 13 hr × 3600 s

T_(s) = 46800 s

The final result is:

13 hr → 46800 s

We conclude that 13 hours is equivalent to 46800 seconds:

13 hours = 46800 seconds
