how many seconds in a day?

Answer 1

86,400
60 seconds in a minute
60 minutes in an hour = 60 x 60 = 3,600
3,600 seconds in an hour
24 hours in a day = 3,600 x 24 = 86,400

Answer 2

A day is 24 hours
An hour is 60 minutes
A minute is 60 seconds
So 24x 60x 60= 86400 seconds in a day.

Answer 3

well, if you want to be particularly accurate, a day is the time it takes for the earth to rotate on its axis, which is 23 h 56 min 04 secs, so therefore there are actually (23*60*60)+(56*60)+4 seconds in a day, which is 82800+3360+4=86164 seconds in a day... However if you want a solar day, that is actually 24 hours so would be 86400 seconds

Answer 4

86400

60 x 60 x 24

Answer 5

This is how you do it WITHOUT a calculator.
6 X 6 = 36 add two 2 decimals. bringing it to 3600. in this case you can add these later.
36 x 24 is 864. Add the 2 decimal paces bringing it to 86400 Toss the calculators in the trash, you don't need them. They will ruin your math abilities.

you can even get fancy and cut the 36 and 24 into halfs and multiply them by twice as much. Math is a beautiful thing.....
