Is this right?

var secondsPerMin = 60; var minsPerHour =60; var hoursPerDay = 24; var daysPerWeek = 7; var weeksPerYear = 52; var secondsPerDay = secondsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay; document.write('There are ' + secondsPerDay + ' seconds in a day');

var yearsAlive = 27;

var secondsPerWeek = secondsPerDay * daysPerWeek;

var secondsPerYear = secondsPerWeek * weeksPerYear;

var secondsAlive = secondsPerYear * yearsAlive;

document.write('I have been alive for more than ' + yearsAlive);

document.write("</br>");

document.write('There are ' + secondsPerWeek + ' in a week.');

document.write("</br>");

document.write('There are ' + secondsPerYear + ' in a year.');

document.write("</br>");

document.write('I have been alive for ' + secondsAlive + '.');

Three months ago, but in case anyone stumbles across this.

document.write("</br>"); document.write('There are ' + secondsPerWeek + ' in a week.');

To save yourself the trouble there, just use:

document.write('<br>'There are ' + secondsPerWeek + ' seconds in a week.');

Instead of creating a new document.write for each line-break.
