I don't believe there is a cast from any numeric type to interval.
I'd recommend the interval-times-float operator. It should work to
write
num_min * interval '1 min'
This approach has the advantage that it trivially adapts to whatever
unit you happen to have the column stated in (seconds, minutes, days, ...)
