Stop ! Don't do something you might regret. It's not as bad as you think.

Minutes to days, eh ? What conversions could we find that might help ?
How about . . .

1 hour / 60 minutes

1 day / 24 hours

Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', so we can freely multiply any quantity
by either one or both of them, without changing the value of the quantity.
The conversion you want might look something like this ...

(75 minutes / 1) x (1 hour / 60 minutes) x (1 day / 24 hours) .

After canceling units from top and bottom where possible,
you have ...

(75 x 1 x 1 day) / (1 x 60 x 24) = 0.05208333... day

and your head is still right where it belongs, ready to fight another day.
