Hello,
First, we can set up the following equation:
100x=1,000,000,000
x=10,000,000 seconds it takes to reach 1 billion dollars.
Now let's figure out how many seconds in 1 day:
60x60=3600 seconds in 1 hour so 8 times that would be:
28,800 seconds in an 8 hour day.
Divide that into 10 million and we get:
347.2 days
Make sense?
