To convert 525,600 minutes into scientific notation, we need to first express it in a format where it consists of a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. Here's how to do it step-by-step:
1. Start with the given number of minutes, 525,600.
2. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can divide the number of minutes by 60 to convert it into hours. So 525,600 minutes ÷ 60 = 8,760 hours.
3. Next, since there are 24 hours in a day, we divide the number of hours by 24 to convert it into days. So 8,760 hours ÷ 24 = 365 days.
4. Finally, since there are approximately 365 days in a year, we divide the number of days by 365 to convert it into years. Hence, 365 days ÷ 365 = 1 year.
Therefore, 525,600 minutes can be expressed as 1 year in scientific notation.
