Divide 42,000 seconds by 3,600:

Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 11 hours contain:
11 × 3,600= 39,600 seconds
We started with 42,000 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
42,000 − 39,600= 2,400 seconds
That leaves 2,400 seconds after counting the 11 full hours.

42,000 seconds = 11 hours and 2,400 seconds
11 full hours + 2,400 seconds left over.
