60 seconds/minute
60 minute/hour
24 hour/day
365 day/year (except for 366 in leap years) so add a couple of extra days in there for that
been here just over 7 1/2 years (close enough for government work)
= 2740 days approximately

1 mile = 63360 inches
86400 seconds/day

horse runs 2 inches / second = 172800 inches/day = 2.73 (rounded up) miles/day (slow boat to china definitely NOT a derby winner...lol) for approximately 2740 days

= 7480.2 miles..... poor horse has to be exhausted running all those miles without a break even though it's only 2.73 miles per day which is reallllllllly slow for a horse.

Ok for the math quiz for the day.....luckily I didn't have to use calculus since I didn't have to calculate any area under a curve.....just a straight line going on forever.......

What a boring race for that poor horse to run.
