The 60 minutes doesn't relate 3 months - but I don't think it has to. The theory is the breeding time is related to the average number of days in a year: 365.25/12 = 30.4375. Here we have already divided by 12. Why would we divide 0.4375 again by 12? Sure it's possible, I'm just not following why we would divide by 12 twice.

And there's also the factor of 10 that doesn't make sense (multiply by 24, divide by 12, multiply by 3 doesn't give 26.25 - it gives 2.625). Multiplying by 10 feels like a extra multiply just to make the numbers 'fit'.

The math in the notes has the net effect of multiplying by 60. A simple explanation is just the number of minutes in an hour.
