How can you know from the beginning? If you begin with 24 hours, and it's the wrong answer, you're spinning your wheels. Begin with the given:
86,400sec x 1min/60sec x 1hr/60min = 86,400/(60)(60) =
Multiplying by the first factor gives you the number of min, because sec cancel. Multiplying by the second factor gives you the number of hr, because min cancel. In all this, min/sec and hr/min are facts that you know.
