Hi thumb, :)

There are 5 steps to answering this:

Step 1) How many seconds are in an hour? You know there's 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in a hour.

$${\mathtt{60}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{60}} = {\mathtt{3\,600}}$$

Step 2) Find out how many in a day. There's 24hr in a day.

$${\mathtt{3\,600}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{24}} = {\mathtt{86\,400}}$$

Step 3) So that's how many in a day, now there's 365 days in a year.

$${\mathtt{86\,400}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{365}} = {\mathtt{31\,536\,000}}$$

Step 4) There's 10 years in a decade

$${\mathtt{31\,536\,000}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{10}} = {\mathtt{315\,360\,000}}$$

Step 5 ) That's your answer 315360000 seconds.
