a = 5,000,000,000
d = -10
n = ?? , where n is in seconds
term(n) = a+(n-1)d
you want term(n) = 0
5,000,000,000 + (n-1)(-10) = 0
-10n + 10 = -5000000000
-10n = -5,000,000,010
n = 500,000,001 seconds
= 8,333,333.35 minutes
= 138,888.89 hours
= 5787.0 days

1. Calculate the total number of seconds it will take to spend $5 billion:
Total seconds = Total money / Money spent per second
= $5,000,000,000 / $10
= 500,000,000 seconds
2. Convert the total number of seconds into a more understandable format:
Days = Total seconds / (24 * 60 * 60)
= 500,000,000 / (24 * 60 * 60)
≈ 5787.04 days
Therefore, it would take approximately 5787 days (or about 15.85 years) for the Singaporean to spend all his money if he spends $10 every second.
