Convert 3 days 7 hours 20 minutes in minutes

Question

Accepted Answer

To convert 3 days, 7 hours, and 20 minutes into minutes, we need to calculate the total number of minutes in each component and then sum them up.

1. **Convert days to minutes:**
   - There are 24 hours in a day.
   - Therefore, 3 days = 3 × 24 hours = 72 hours.
   - Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 72 hours = 72 × 60 minutes = 4320 minutes.

2. **Convert hours to minutes:**
   - We have an additional 7 hours.
   - 7 hours = 7 × 60 minutes = 420 minutes.

3. **Minutes:**
   - We already have 20 minutes.

Now, add all the minutes together:
- Total minutes = 4320 minutes (from days) + 420 minutes (from hours) + 20 minutes = 4760 minutes.

Therefore, the total time of 3 days, 7 hours, and 20 minutes is 4760 minutes, which corresponds to Option 4.

**Explanation for why other options are incorrect:**

- **Option 1 (4720 min.):** This option is incorrect because it underestimates the total number of minutes. It likely results from a miscalculation in converting either the days or hours into minutes.

- **Option 2 (4270 min.):** This option is incorrect because it significantly underestimates the total number of minutes. It seems to have an error in the conversion process, possibly ignoring some of the hours or days.

- **Option 3 (4670 min.):** This option is incorrect because it slightly underestimates the total number of minutes. It might result from a small error in adding the minutes from days, hours, or the additional 20 minutes.

In conclusion, the correct conversion of 3 days, 7 hours, and 20 minutes into minutes is 4760 minutes, which is why Option 4 is the correct answer.
