Answer: 665,640 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensional analysis: dividing out common units like dividing out common factors

For ex: 3/5 * 5/7 = 3/7

cross out the fives and turn them into 1

For dimensional analysis you just cross out the units.

days-->hours-->minutes

462.25d/1 * 24h/1d * 60m/1h = 665,640 minutes

Cross out the d's and h's.

You are left with minutes on the top and no units on bottom.

Just multiply across to get the answer 665,640 minutes
