How 120 hours converts to days

Every time conversion goes through the second, which is the SI base unit for time. 120 hours is 432,000 seconds, and dividing that by the length of one day gives the answer.

1 day = 24 hours
120 ÷ 24 = 5

Where 120 hours shows up

One hundred and twenty hours is the length of the TEFL certificate most language schools and online teaching platforms treat as their minimum, and the figure is a training total rather than a stretch of calendar time — it is usually completed over weeks of part-time study. Read as continuous time it is exactly five days, one of the tidier conversions here, since 120 is a whole multiple of 24. Course hours and clock hours share a unit and very little else.

Yes. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, and weeks all have fixed definitions — 60 seconds to the minute, 60 minutes to the hour, 24 hours to the day, 7 days to the week. Nothing in this conversion touches a month or a year, so no averaging is involved and the only rounding is in the digits displayed.
