Step 1

first you find out how many minutes in a day so:

24 hours in a day * 60 minutes in an hour = 1,440 minutes in a day

Step 2

Next multiply the minutes in a day with days in a year so:

1440 minutes in a day * 365.25 days in a year = 525,960 minutes in a year

The Answer: 525,960 Minutes in a year
