Because one period of time and another varies very much. One day has 24 * 60 minutes. This is magic number: 1440. You should remember it. So may you will be insisted to wait one thousand times more according mentioned situation!
What is a minute?
Minute is a short period of time. We can’t remember all minutes. And we don’t need to do it. But some persons, mostly woman, say: “Wait a minute”. Are you patient to wait a minute, which can spread to half an hour or more? Imagine, that somebody says: “Wait a minute”. Then your patience is tested few days. It is disaster.
Minutes in a day calculation
One day has 24 hours, one hour has 60 minutes, so:
1 day = (24 hours/day) × (60 minutes/ 1 hour) = 1440 minutes/day
1 day is not 24 hours! It’s a bit less. Actually for minutes less than 24 hours. So, one day is 23 hours and 56 mts.
23 hours =23×60 minutes,
Hence 23 hours is 1380 minutes.
One day is 23 hrs and 56minutes.
This 1 day = 1380+56 mts
Finally, we get, a day is equal to 1436 mts
Easy. First, you need to know this:
- That a day has 24 hours
- And a 1 hour has 3600 seconds
Now, you’ll multiply the two.
24*3600 = 86.400 seconds!
Since the results is in seconds, you have to divide that by 60 (a minute) to convert it to minutes.
86.400/60 = 1,440 minutes
There you have it.
Hope I helped, Cheers mate!
Or you can just forget all of this and multiply 24*60 = 1,440 minutes
There it is.
One minute is more perceptible unit than second, not so small and tiny. It is perceptible enough to keep it in your mind, because the unit of time equal to one sixtieth of an hour, or sixty seconds. Many thing can happen per this short interval of time. One minute you are rich, next minute can be last for you. Lets remember it.
