What is the output of your uptime command? What distro are you using? On Ubuntu, uptime outputs something like "16:25:06 up 47 days, 8:50, 2 users, load average: ..." The "16:25:06" is the time. The "up 47 days, 8:50" is up 47 days, 8 hours and 50 minutes" So, are you wanting to do a date/time calculation on the "47 days, 8:50" or is the output of your uptime different? Could you edit your question to show the output of the uptime command you are using?

You may get it for free from the output of last reboot:
$ last reboot
reboot system boot 4.14.81-i7 Sat Nov 17 23:25 still running
reboot system boot 4.14.80-i7 Fri Nov 16 09:16 - 15:49 (06:33)
$ printf "On since: "; last reboot | grep "still running" | cut -c 40-56
On since: Sat Nov 17 23:25
$ printf "On since: " ; last reboot --time-format iso | grep "still running" | cut -c 40-49
On since: 2018-11-17
Your uptime command might also have the -s option:
$ uptime -s
2018-11-17 23:25:23
Since this format is acceptable to date -d, you can reformat the time however you wish like this::
$ date -d "$(uptime -s)" "+On since: %d:%m:%y"
On since: 17:11:18
