Convert 860 minutes to days.

To convert minutes into days, you need to first understand the relationship between these units of time. There are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day. Therefore, to find out how many days are in 860 minutes, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert minutes to hours: Divide the total minutes by the number of minutes in an hour (60).

[

\text{Hours} = \frac{860 \text{ minutes}}{60 \text{ minutes/hour}} \approx 14.33 \text{ hours}

]

2. Next, convert hours to days: Divide the total hours by the number of hours in a day (24).

[

\text{Days} = \frac{14.33 \text{ hours}}{24 \text{ hours/day}} \approx 0.597 \text{ days}

]

When rounded, this value is approximately 0.6 days.

This calculation clarifies why the value of 0.6 is the correct result when converting 860 minutes into days. The correct interpretation of the conversion maintains the integrity of the time units and precisely reflects the conversion process.
