To convert 400 minutes to seconds, we need to multiply it by the conversion factor of 1 minute = 60 seconds.

400 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 24,000 seconds

Since the student is in class for 5 days each week, we need to multiply the seconds by 5.

24,000 seconds * 5 days = 120,000 seconds

Therefore, the student is in class for 120,000 seconds each week.
