Question

Which equation shows how you can fing the number of minutes in one year

Answer 1

60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year. So,
60×24=1440 minutes in a day.
1440×365=525600 minutes in year. So the equation is
Minutes in an hour×Hours in a day=minutes in a day
minutes in a day×days in a year=minutes in a year

Answer 2

`\text{Minutes in a year}=\frac{\text{60 minutes}}{\text{Hour}}*\frac{24\text{ hours}}{\text{Day}}*\frac{\text{365 days}}{\text{Year}}`

Explanation:

We are asked to find the equation that shows the number of minutes in one year.

We know that 1 hour equals 60 minutes.

1 day equals 24 hours, so number of minutes in one day would be
`24\text{ hours}* \frac{\text{60 minutes}}{\text{Hour}}=24* 60\text{ minutes}=1440\text{ minutes}`

We know that one year has 365 days, so minutes in one years would be
`1140\text{ minutes}* 365=525600\text{ minutes}`

`\text{Minutes in a year}=\text{Minutes in one hour}*\text{Hours in one day}* \text{Days in one year}`

`\text{Minutes in a year}=\frac{\text{60 minutes}}{\text{Hour}}*\frac{24\text{ hours}}{\text{Day}}*\frac{\text{365 days}}{\text{Year}}`
