First, you need to know that a day has 1,440 minutes, this is because a day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes, so:
60 x 24 = 1,440
Assuming that a day has 1,440 minutes, to find out the number of days in a given number of minutes you must divide the number of minutes by 1,440:
days = minutes / 1,440
Let's look at an example exercise: A person spent 8,640 hours to do a job, how many days did he work?
days = 8,640 / 1,440 = 6
With this we conclude that she worked the equivalent of 6 days.
