infinite or 2 depending on the situation and specific question

A right angle is 90 degrees, a straight line 180 degrees so from that standpoint there are two. However, you can have the effect of a right turn by making three lefts, but you would never consider saying logically that there are 3 left turns in a right turn. So the logical answer to your question is there are no right angles in straight line. If there were, the line would not be straight any more!

A straight line 180 degrees is made up of 2 right angles of 90 degrees

There is only one angle in a straight line, which is 180 degrees. Your question should be, "a straight line can be divided into how many right angles?" Then the answer is two.

There are two right angles in a straight line as the angle in a straight line is 180.
Angles equal to two right angles are called straight angles (equal to 180 degrees).
So, the angle in a straight line has been given the name straight angles instead of combination of two right angles.

A right angle is 90 degrees, a straight line is 180 degrees. So you can combine 2 right angles to get a straight line (90+90=180)

None, because we need 2 straight lines 2 make an angle.

You don't see any right angles in a straight line but straight lines are 180 degrees (the equivalent of 2 right (90 degree) angles combined).

At most two..
since a straight line is a 180 degree angle, there can be two right angles in between..

You could line up as many as you want! Just cut out 4 right angles from corners of a piece of paper and line them up on a table. Easy! Now try with a few more - see, as many as you want.
(The correct answer to the question I think you are asking is 2)

The number of right angles in a straight line is 2 + 4n where n can be any integer, positive, negative, or 0.
