How many minutes are in a century?

Answer 1

A lot! Let's see!: 60 minutes in an hour * 24 hours per day * 365 days per year * 100 years per century. All that comes to= 52,560,000 minutes. That's not including the extra days in leap years.

Answer 2

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour and 24 hours in a day, that makes 1440 minutes per day. There are 365 days in a year, 366 in a leap year. In a century (100 years) there are 75 normal years and 25 leaps years:

75 x 365 x 1440 = 39420000

25 x 366 x 1440 = 13176000

3942000 + 1317600 = 52596000

There are 52 596 000 (fifty-two million, five hundred and ninety-six thousand) minutes in a century.
