Answer:

604800 seconds

Explanation:

If there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in one hour

60 minutes = 60 x 60

= 3600 seconds

So , there are 3600 seconds in one hour .

Recall that 24 hours make one day .

Therefore 3600secs x 24 hrs = 86400 seconds

There are 86400 seconds in one day .

There are 7 days in a week , so

86400 x 7

604800 seconds

There are 604800 seconds in one week
