it was determined by the ancient Babylonians who used a numeric system based on 6. Therefor we got 12 months to a year 60 minutes to an hour 24 hours to a day . . .

I am guessing that you mean 'Why are there 24 hours in one day?' as your question.
The answer is, the ancient Egyptians started keeping time, and their units are still in use.
;-D It pays to be first!
