Which operation could we perform in order to find the number of milliseconds in a year?

The amount of milliseconds in a year must be determined.
First of all, milli means thousandth and thus one second contains 1000 milliseconds.

Then, there are 60 seconds in one minute and thus the number of milliseconds in a minute is then obtain by multiplying the number of milliseconds in a second by the number of seconds in a minute.

Then, there are 60 minutes in one hour and thus the number of milliseconds in a minute by the number of milliseconds in a minute by the number of minutes in a hour.

Then, there are 24 hours in a day and thus the number of milliseconds in a day is then obtain by multiplying the number of milliseconds in an hour by the number of hours in a day.

Finally, we assume that there are 365 days in a year. The number of milliseconds in a year is then by multiplying the number of milliseconds in a day by the number of days in a year.

Then mark the correct action: $1000\cdot 60\cdot 60\cdot 24\cdot 365$
