They are exactly the same in regards to value, but the quiz probably expects "minutes" to be used as the unit because of how the question is phrased.

You may want to suggest that either answer be considered correct in a bug report to Support.

Thank you! Yeah, I was sure that I was correct and I didn't understand why it's showed as an incorrect answer.
