To calculate the number of days Cristóbal Colón's journey took, we need to find the difference in days between August 2nd and October 12th.
Here's the breakdown in days:
1. August has 30 days (August 2nd to August 31st is 30 days).
2. September has 30 days (September 1st to September 30th is 30 days).
3. October 1st to October 12th is 12 days.
Adding these together: 30 (August) + 30 (September) + 12 (October) = 72 days.
Therefore, the journey took 72 days.
Now, to express the journey in hours, we can assume an average day has 24 hours.
72 days * 24 hours/day = 1728 hours approximately.
So, the journey took approximately 1728 hours.
