Answer 1

Part 1
Kevin did not indicate the conversions between years, days, hours, and minutes.

Part 2
The correct calculation for the number of minutes in 2 years is

`2 \, years \\ = (2 \, years)*(365 \, (days)/(year))*(24 \, (hours)/(day) )*(60 \, (minutes)/(hour) ) \\ = 1,051,200 \, minutes`

Answer: 1,051,200 minutes
