Question

Calculate the number of seconds in 2 full days.

• A. 17600 seconds
• B. 172800 seconds
• C. 127800 seconds
• D. 162800 seconds

Answer 1

The correct option is B

172800 seconds

We know that on a given day there are 24 hours.
1 hour = 60 min, 1 min = 60 seconds.
So, 1 hour = 3600 seconds.
Now, to get the number of seconds for 2 days, we multiply 48 hours by 3600 seconds.
So the final answer for the number of seconds for 2 days is, $48\times 3600$ = 172800 seconds
