What is the age of earth in minutes?

The previous two answers show you how to do the math, i.e., multiply the age of the earth in years by the number of days per year then by the number of hours in a day and then by the number of minutes in an hour. However, you really do not have the age of the earth in minutes. The age of the earth is about 4.7 billion years give or take a few hundred million years. The error of the current estimate is in hundreds of millions of years, not minutes. No technique can determine whether it is n minutes or n+1 minutes old, and, therefore, the accuracy of the age of the earth in minutes is unrealistic. The smallest meaningful unit of measurement of the age of the earth is 100 million years.
