The most appropriate way to do this is probably: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>24.hours / 1.minute </code></pre> This way you keep the readability and clear intention of the 'ruby mindset'. Of course, this will have a constant value so you should probably store it in an appropriately named constant (e.g. <code>MINUTES_IN_A_DAY</code>) rather than calculating it every time.

How to convert 24.hours into minutes it gives me second.

1.9.3p392 :076 > 24.hours
=> 86400 seconds

One NON-RUBY way is

1.9.3p392 :079 > 24*60
 => 1440

Is there any ruby or rails way of doing this? i.e. 24.hours_in_minutes
