How interesting that you chose to multiply rather than divide! A decimal with that many zeros would easily cause me to make a mistake. What does the number .0006 represent?
I divided by 60 minutes to get a figure of how many hours it was, then divided by 24 hours to get the number of days. Got the same answer!

You can use dimensional analysis to solve this problem! Using standard conversions and canceling out units makes this calculation simple:
(3456 min) x (1 hr/60 min) x (1 day/24 hr) = 2.4 days
(3456 min) x (1 hr/60 min) x (1 day/24 hr) = 2.4 days
