How many minutes in 0.2 days?

Conversion formula

The conversion factor from days to minutes is 1440, which means that 1 day is equal to 1440 minutes:

1 d = 1440 min

To convert 0.2 days into minutes we have to multiply 0.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the time amount from days to minutes. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 d → 1440 min

0.2 d → T_(min)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in minutes:

T_(min) = 0.2 d × 1440 min

T_(min) = 288 min

The final result is:

0.2 d → 288 min

We conclude that 0.2 days is equivalent to 288 minutes:

0.2 days = 288 minutes

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 minute is equal to 0.0034722222222222 × 0.2 days.

Another way is saying that 0.2 days is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0034722222222222 minutes.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that zero point two days is approximately two hundred eighty-eight minutes:

0.2 d ≅ 288 min

An alternative is also that one minute is approximately zero point zero zero three times zero point two days.

Conversion units

The units involved in this conversion are days and minutes. This is how they are defined:

Day

A day (symbol: d) is a unit of time. In common usage, it is either an interval equal to 24 hours or daytime, the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon. The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day. Several definitions of this universal human concept are used according to context, need and convenience. In 1960, the second was redefined in terms of the orbital motion of the Earth, and was designated the SI base unit of time. The unit of measurement "day", redefined in 1960 as 86 400 SI seconds and symbolized d, is not an SI unit, but is accepted for use with SI. A civil day is usually 86 400 seconds, plus or minus a possible leap second in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and occasionally plus or minus an hour in those locations that change from or to daylight saving time.

Minute

The minute is a unit of time or of angle. As a unit of time, the minute (symbol: min) is equal to 1⁄60 (the first sexagesimal fraction) of an hour, or 60 seconds. In the UTC time standard, a minute on rare occasions has 61 seconds, a consequence of leap seconds (there is a provision to insert a negative leap second, which would result in a 59-second minute, but this has never happened in more than 40 years under this system). As a unit of angle, the minute of arc is equal to 1⁄60 of a degree, or 60 seconds (of arc). Although not an SI unit for either time or angle, the minute is accepted for use with SI units for both. The SI symbols for minute or minutes are min for time measurement, and the prime symbol after a number, e.g. 5′, for angle measurement. The prime is also sometimes used informally to denote minutes of time. In contrast to the hour, the minute (and the second) does not have a clear historical background. What is traceable only is that it started being recorded in the Middle Ages due to the ability of construction of "precision" timepieces (mechanical and water clocks). However, no consistent records of the origin for the division as 1⁄60 part of the hour (and the second 1⁄60 of the minute) have ever been found, despite many speculations.
