To determine the days he spent in 1 billion dollar.

$\begin{gathered} 8\text{ dollar =1 sec.} \\ 1dollar=\frac{1}{8}sec \\ 1000,000,000dollar=\frac{1}{8}\times1000,000,000sec \end{gathered}$

There are 125,000,000 seconds required for spend 1 billion dollar.

Convert into days.

1 days =86400 seconds.

$\begin{gathered} 86400sec=1\text{ days} \\ 1sec=\frac{1}{86400}days \\ 125,000,000=\frac{125,000,000}{86400}days=1446.76days \end{gathered}$Answer
