Question

Convert: How many minutes are in 3 days?

Answer 1

in 1 hr, there are 60 minutes.

in 1 day there are 24 hrs, and therefore 24*60 minutes.

in 3 days there are 3*24 hours and therefore 3*24*60 minutes.

Answer 2

4,320 minutes

Explanation:

First, let's look at every conversion factor we need.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

Now we start with 3 days and multiply by the factors we need for conversion.

`3~days * (24~hours)/(1~day) * (60~minutes)/(1~hour) =`

`= 4320~minutes`
