On what day in the year 1943 was the year 300 000 minutes old?
1 hr = 60minutes
1 day = 24 hrs = 1440 minutes in a day
300000/1440 = 208.33 ?

well, how many days in 300000 minutes?
I have no idea🤣
To determine on which day in the year 1943 the year reached 300,000 minutes, we can follow these steps:
1. Convert the year 1943 to minutes:
In a non-leap year, there are 365 days with 24 hours each, and each hour has 60 minutes. Therefore, we can calculate the total number of minutes in the year 1943 as follows:
Total minutes = 365 days × 24 hours × 60 minutes = 525,600 minutes.
2. Subtract 300,000 from the total number of minutes in the year 1943:
525,600 – 300,000 = 225,600.
3. Starting from the 1st of January, count the days until the remaining minutes reach zero:
We'll begin by counting the number of days in each month until reaching a total of 225,600 minutes.
- January has 31 days, so subtracting (31 days × 24 hours × 60 minutes) = 44,640 minutes, leaves us with 180,960 minutes.
- February has 28 days (assuming it's not a leap year), so subtracting (28 days × 24 hours × 60 minutes) = 40,320 minutes, leaves us with 140,640 minutes.
- March has 31 days, so subtracting (31 days × 24 hours × 60 minutes) = 44,640 minutes, leaves us with 96,000 minutes.
At this point, we have less than 96,000 minutes left, which means the remaining days fall in April.
- April has 30 days, so subtract (30 days × 24 hours × 60 minutes) = 43,200 minutes, which leaves us with 52,800 minutes.
- The remaining 52,800 minutes fall in April, so we divide it by 60 minutes to find the exact hour: 52,800 ÷ 60 = 880 hours, meaning there are still 880 hours left in April.
To find the exact day, we need to convert the remaining hours into days by dividing 880 hours by 24 hours per day:
880 ÷ 24 = 36.67 days, which means the year reaches 300,000 minutes on the 36th day of April.
Since there are only 30 days in April, the calculation indicates that the year reached 300,000 minutes sometime in May. However, this calculation assumes April only has 30 days, while in reality, it has 30 or 31 days. Therefore, it is not possible to precisely determine the exact day in 1943 when the year reached 300,000 minutes without more information.
