When calculating a time interval in the past, we must consider each unit separately. Let’s start by converting 2 hours into minutes. Since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, 2 hours would be 2 x 60 = 120 minutes. Next, we add the initial 40 minutes, resulting in a total of 120 + 40 = 160 minutes in the past. This amount of time has lapsed from the present moment.

To incorporate days into our calculation, we observe that 1 day consists of 24 hours. As we have 0 days in this scenario, we do not need to make any additional calculations based on days. Therefore, we have successfully determined that the time interval of 0 days, 2 hours, and 40 minutes corresponds to 160 minutes in the past.
