Right. But the question asks how many full days. So you can't have a fraction or a decimal in your answer.

Ms. Sue
Oops. You're right. I goofed.
60 * 60 * 24 = 86,400
450,000 / 86,400 = 5.2 = 5 days.
When I taught an occasional math class, I was frustrated because I made errors about 5% of the time. Finally I offered extra credit to anyone who politely told me I was wrong.
You just earned extra credit! :-)
