Question
How many seconds are there in 2 days?

Answer

Here, we know 1 day = 24 hours (h)
 or $\frac{1 \text { day }}{24 h}=1=\frac{24 h}{1 \text { day }}$ 
then, $1 h=60 min$ 
or $\frac{1 h}{60 min}=1=\frac{60 min}{1 h}$
 so, for converting 2 days to seconds,
 i.e., 2 days _______ $=$ _______ seconds
The unit factors can be multiplied in series in one step only as follows:
 2 day $\times \frac{24 h}{1 \text { day }} \times \frac{60 min}{1 h} \times \frac{60 s}{1 \min }$
$\begin{aligned} & =2 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60 s \\ & =172800 s\end{aligned}$
