AnswerThe term has several different meanings depending on context:Some people use it to mean a very short time, usually with arbitrary and undefined value.In electronics, a jiffy is the time between cycles of alternating current, 1/50 or 1/60 seconds for most countries (the inverse of the frequency).In physics, a jiffy is the time taken for light to travel a set distance; one definition is the distance of one fermi, 10-15 metres. Here a jiffy is around 3 x 10-29 seconds. It is also used to mean the Planck time, which is the time light takes to travel one Planck length.In computing, a jiffy is the duration of one tick in the system timer interrupter. Most jiiffys/jiffies here would be between 1 and 10 milliseconds (milli- is one thousandth).Many people also believe that it is one centisecond (centi- means one hundredth), and use it as such.

A very good question. It is the amount of time it takes someone to get you a cup of coffee.
The possible synonyms for the time period "minute" are generally smaller, such as moment, jiffy, or instant. The adjective "minute" (MINE-yoot) has synonyms small, tiny, or miniscule. It can also imply precision, with the synonyms careful, detailed, elaborate, or painstaking.
Well, honey, 36 percent of 30,000 is 10,800. So, if you're looking to calculate that in a jiffy, just multiply 30,000 by 0.36 and you'll get your answer. Hope that helps, sugar!
