To convert 17 hours into seconds we have to multiply 17 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

17 hr → T_(s)

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

T_(s) = 17 hr × 3600 s

T_(s) = 61200 s

The final result is:

17 hr → 61200 s

We conclude that 17 hours is equivalent to 61200 seconds:

17 hours = 61200 seconds
