If you earned $1 a second a day, how much would you have by the end of the day?

Answer 1

If you earn $1 a second, you can calculate your total earnings for one day as follows:

1. There are 60 seconds in a minute.
2. There are 60 minutes in an hour.
3. There are 24 hours in a day.

Now, multiply these together to find the total number of seconds in a day:

\[ 60 \text{ seconds/minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} = 86,400 \text{ seconds/day} \]

Since you earn $1 for each second, your total earnings for the day would be:

\[ 86,400 \text{ seconds} \times 1 \text{ dollar/second} = 86,400 \text{ dollars} \]

So, by the end of the day, you would have $86,400.
