Suppose you wanted to calculate the number of seconds in a day. Select ALL of the following options that correctly calculate the number of seconds in a day.

To determine the number of seconds in a day, we can think in terms of the basic time-to-second conversions and the total hours in a day.
Option 1: hours_per_day * seconds_per_hour. Here you multiply the number of hours in a day by the number of seconds in one hour. If hours_per_day represents 24 and seconds_per_hour represents 3600, the product equals 24 × 3600 = 86400 seconds. This aligns with the standard approach of converting hours directly to seconds by using a single conversion factor per hour.
Option 2: seconds_per_minute * minutes_per_hour * hours_per_day. This expression multiplies the seconds in one minute (60) by the minutes in one hour (60) and by the hours in a day (24). It effectively computes 60 × 60 × 24, which also yields 86400 seconds. This approach uses two intermediate steps (minutes per hour and seconds per minute) before multiplying by hours per day, but it arrives at the same total seconds per day.
Consider potential misunderstandings: If someone misreads seconds_per_hour as 3600 but forgets to account for the daily total hours, they might misapply the factors. Alternatively, using only seconds_per_minute and minutes_per_hour without incorporating hours_per_day would be incomplete for a full day, so that specific combination must include hours_per_day to be complete. In both provided expressions, the necessary factors to reach a full 24-hour day are present when hours_per_day is interpreted as 24, and when seconds_per_hour is 3600 or when seconds_per_minute is 60 and minutes_per_hour is 60.
In summary, each option builds a valid pathway from basic time units to total seconds in a day, albeit via different routes: a direct per-hour route in Option 1, and a combined per-minute and per-hour route in Option 2.
