Let's break down the problem step-by-step to determine how many minutes are in one day:
1. Identify the total number of hours in one day:
- We know that 1 day equals 24 hours.
2. Identify the number of minutes in one hour:
- We know that 1 hour equals 60 minutes.
3. Calculate the total number of minutes in one day:
- If there are 24 hours in one day and each hour has 60 minutes, we multiply the number of hours by the number of minutes in each hour:
[tex]\[
\text{Total minutes in one day} = 24 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes per hour}
\][/tex]
- Performing the multiplication:
[tex]\[
24 \times 60 = 1440
\][/tex]
Thus, there are 1440 minutes in one day.
So, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 1440 \text{ minutes} \][/tex]
