Answer 1

Answer:

1 hour

60 minutes

1 minute

60 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to convert hour into seconds, the hours have to be converted into minutes first and then into seconds.

The conversions that will be used are:

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

So,

To convert 26 into seconds,

= 26 * 60

= 1560 minutes

Now, 1560 will be converted into seconds

1560*60

=93600 seconds

She skipped the following:

1 hour

1 minute

60 seconds

Answer 2

Answer: Last option

1 hour

60 minutes

1 minute

60 seconds

Step-by-step 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.

$26\ hours*\frac{60\ minutes}{1\ hour}=1560\ minutes$

Now we convert the minutes into seconds

$1560\ minutes*\frac{60\ seconds}{1\ minute}=93,600\ seconds$

Finally the answer is the last option

1 hour

60 minutes

1 minute

60 seconds
