Find how many complete hours fit into 48,000 seconds.
Divide 48,000 seconds by 3,600:
48,000 ÷ 3,600 = 13.333333333333

Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 13 hours contain:
13 × 3,600= 46,800 seconds
We started with 48,000 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
48,000 − 46,800= 1,200 seconds
That leaves 1,200 seconds after counting the 13 full hours.
Final answer
48,000 seconds = 13 hours and 1,200 seconds
13 full hours + 1,200 seconds left over.
