If we consider a minute to be infinitely long, meaning it consists of an infinite number of seconds, it becomes difficult to assign a specific number of minutes within an hour. In this scenario, the concept of measuring time in discrete units like minutes and seconds becomes ambiguous.

Typically, an hour consists of 60 minutes, and a minute consists of 60 seconds. However, if we consider a minute to be infinitely long, the conventional division of time into discrete units breaks down.

Infinity is not a number in the usual sense and does not follow the rules of arithmetic. It is a concept representing an unbounded, limitless quantity. Thus, trying to quantify the number of minutes in an hour when a minute is infinitely long leads to an undefined or indeterminate situation.

Therefore, within the framework of conventional mathematics and time measurement, it is not meaningful to determine how many minutes there would be in an hour if a minute were considered infinitely long.
