To determine which statement is true about days and minutes, we need to understand the relationship between these units of time.

There are 60 minutes in one hour, and 24 hours in one day. Therefore, there are 60 minutes multiplied by 24 hours, which equals 1,440 minutes in one day.

Now let's evaluate each statement:

1. "One day is 60 times as long as a minute." This statement is incorrect, as we determined that there are 1,440 minutes in one day.

2. "One minute is 60 times as long as a day." This statement is also incorrect. It contradicts our understanding that there are 1,440 minutes in one day.

3. "One day is 1,440 times as long as a minute." This statement is correct. We previously calculated that there are 1,440 minutes in one day.

4. "One minute is 1,440 times as long as a day." This statement is incorrect. It contradicts our established relationship that there are 1,440 minutes in one day.

Based on this analysis, the correct statement is: "One day is 1,440 times as long as a minute."
