i believe you meant 13 hours and not .13 hours.
with that belief in mind, the answer would be determined as follows.

suppose that a blink of an eye for a sloth last 3.5 seconds. how many sloth blinks will occur in 6 days .13 hours,43 minutes and 2 seconds.?
start with 6 days.
multiply that by 24 and you get 144 hours.
add 13 hours to that and you get 157 hours.
multiply that by 60 and you get 9420 minutes.
add 43 minutes to that and you get 9463 minutes.
multiply that by 60 and you get 567780 seconds.
add 2 seconds to that and you get 567782 seconds.
divide that by 3.5 seconds per blink and you get 162223.4286 blinks.

the sloth blinks 162223.4286 times in 6 days 13 hours 43 minutes and 2 seconds.
