Answer:

There are 43200 minutes in a 30-day month.

Explanation:

We know that:

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

Thus to determine the minutes in a 30-day month, let us first determine the number of hours in the month.

30

x 24

_______

120

60

_______

720 hours

The 30-day month has a total of 720 hours.

So that the number of minutes that make up 720 hours can be determined by;

720

_______

000

4320

_______

43200

Therefore, there are 43200 minutes in a 30-day month.
