714 \: y * (12 \: months)/(1 \: years) * (30.417 \: days)/(1 \: month)


= 260612.856 \: days


260612.856 \: days * (24 \: h)/(1 \: day) * (60 \: min)/(1 \: h)


= 375282512.6 \: minutes

Answer:

We know (by definition) that: 1 yr ≈ 525948.77 min.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of minutes.

1 yr / 714 yr ≈ 525948.77 min / x min

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x min ≈ (714 yr / 1 yr) * 525948.77 min → x min ≈ 375527421.78000003 min

Conclusion:

714 yr ≈ 375527421.78000003 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it is helpful....
