The type of reasoning that was being stated in the given is called inductive reasoning, since the ideas and concepts that revolved around time are being formulated in a way that the values are equated as a form of measurements. The process is repeated in a manner that 60 seconds is incorporated in a minute, in an hour and in a day. This type of reasoning is different from deductive reasoning, because deductive reasoning starts with deduction of facts or logics, therefore if we apply deductive reasoning in the case of the given, it will usually start with 86,400 seconds divided by 60, then divide by 24.
Final answer:
Inductive reasoning.
