Question

How many minutes in a month

Answer 1

The best way to solve this would be dimensional analysis.

There are 30.42 days on average in a month. We calculate this by 365/12. This is where we get the 30.42.

`(1month)/(1)*(30.42days)/(1month)*(24hrs)/(1day)*(60min)/(1hr)`

When we multiply across the top, we get:

`(43804.8min)/(1month)`

There are 43804.8 minutes in one month.

Answer 2

43800.048 is the number of minutes
