Answer:

86400

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. Let us first find the number of seconds in one hour.
  2. We know that the number of seconds in one minute is 60 and the number of minutes in one hour is also 60.
  3. The number of seconds in one hour = The number of seconds in one minute × The number of minutes in one hour
    = 60 × 60
    = 3600 seconds
  4. Now, we know that the number of seconds in one hour is 3600 and the number of hours in one day is 24.
  5. Hence, the number of seconds in one day = The number of seconds in one hour × The number of hours in one day
    = 3600 × 24
    = 86400 seconds
  6. Hence, there are 86400 seconds in a day.
