2,688 PointsSolution to "Create a Program with Math" with a spin.
Here is my solution but I added some additional information for more than seconds.
const secondsPerMin = 60;
const minutesPerHr = 60;
const hoursPerDay = 24;
const daysPerWk = 7;
const wksPerYr= 52;
const secondsPerDay = secondsPerMin * minutesPerHr * hoursPerDay;
console.log(`There are ${secondsPerDay} seconds in a day.`);
const yearsAlive = 36;
//Added variables for a year in. minutes & seconds.
const yearToSecs = 31536000;
const yearToMins= 525600;
//My calculations in designated varibles.
const secondsAlive = yearToSecs * yearsAlive;
const minutesAlive = yearToMins * yearsAlive;
const hoursAlive = hoursPerDay * 365 * yearsAlive;
console.log(`I have been on this Earth for ${secondsAlive} seconds,${minutesAlive} minutes and ${hoursAlive} hours!`);
I welcome any notes , questions, or comments. Happy coding everyone!

231,248 PointsIn keeping with the original program concept, it might be better to calculate the additional values instead of adding more constants:
const yearToSecs = secondsPerDay * 365;
const yearToMins = yearToSecs / secondsPerMin;
