Answer 1

Answer: Last option

1 hour

60 minutes

1 minute

60 seconds

Explanation:

It's known that:

In 1 hour there are 60 minutes

In 1 minute there are 60 seconds

Therefore to convert 26 hours into seconds, you must first convert the hours into minutes and then into seconds.

`26\ hours*(60\ minutes)/(1\ hour)=1560\ minutes`

Now we convert the minutes into seconds

`1560\ minutes*(60\ seconds)/(1\ minute)=93,600\ seconds`

Finally the answer is the last option

1 hour

60 minutes

1 minute

60 seconds
