A guest speaker says to a class, "You have 16,452 seconds in each day. Use them wisely!" Do you agree or disagree with the speaker? Explain your reasoning using words AND numbers. 

No, I do not agree, because there are 86,400 seconds in a day, not 16,452. I know this because there are 60 seconds in one minute, and 60 minutes in 1 hour. So, I would need to multiply 60 x 60, which is 3,600. Then, I need to multiply that by 24, which is the hours in a day. I showed my work via area model or standard algorithm in my answer to prove that 3,600 times 24 is 86,400 seconds, not 16,452.
