const secondsPerMin = 60; const minPerHour = 60; const hoursPerDay = 24; const daysPerWeek = 7; const weeksPerYear = 52;
const secondsInADay = secondsPerMin * minPerHour * hoursPerDay;
console.log( there are ${secondsInADay} seconds in a day
);
const yearsAlive = prompt('how many years young are you?'); const secondsPerYear = secondsInADay * minPerHour * hoursPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear; const usersAge = secondsPerYear * yearsAlive;
console.log(I been alive for more than ${usersAge} seconds!
)

const secsPerMin = 60; const minsPerHour = 60; const hoursPerDay = 24; const daysPerWeek = 7; const weeksPerYear = 52;
const secondsPerDay = secsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay;
console.log (There are ${secondsPerDay} seconds in a day.
);
const yearsAlive = 32;
const daysAlive = 7* 52* 32;
const secsYearsAlive = secondsPerDay * daysAlive
console.log(I've been alive for more than ${secsYearsAlive} seconds!
);

Web Development Techdegree Graduate 18,135 PointsIt should be SecondsPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear * yearsAlive.
because you have already got the Seconds in a day you do not need to multiply that with minutes per day and hours per day
