You don't really need to make parentheses when you are only doing
multiplication, because it does not matter in which order you do them.

Here is a clue:
You just found out how many seconds you are old, by multiplying with certai=
n
numbers. These number will help you find his age through division.

Example:
936000000/60
This will give you his age in minutes.
