Time: Seconds to Minute Conversion

Time measures act as milestones. Hours, days, and years are the three major time units. You can get seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years by measuring time. One year is made up of 365 days. A year is 52 weeks plus one day. A year has 12 months. A day has 24 hours. One hour has 60 minutes. One minute contains 60 seconds. Let us read ahead to know more about this.

How to Convert Second Into Minute?

Every minute contains 60 seconds; converting seconds to minutes is straightforward. The second-to-minute formula can be given by simply dividing the number of seconds by 60 to obtain the answer!

For Example: Convert 120 seconds into minutes.

Ans: 120 seconds $=(120 \div 60)$ minutes ( 1 minutes $=60$ seconds $)$

$=2$ minutes

Second-to-Minute Converter

Step 1: Recall that there are 60 seconds in one minute. There are always 60 seconds in every minute, regardless of where you are in the world. One minute has passed after 60 seconds have passed. Two minutes have gone after another 60 seconds (for a total of 120 seconds). Three minutes have passed after 180 seconds 60.

Step 2: To convert seconds to minutes, multiply the number of seconds by 60. A minute has gone every 60 seconds. When you divide two numbers, you get the number of times one number "fits" into the other.

Consider the question, "How many minutes have gone if 360 seconds have passed?"

We divide to find out how many 60-second chunks fit within 360 seconds.

Our answer is 6 minutes because $\frac{360}{60}=6$

For instance, how many minutes are there in 240 seconds?

60 seconds Equals 1 minute

$= \frac{240}{60}$

In 240 seconds, there are four minutes.

Step 3: By multiplying decimals by 60 , you can convert them back to seconds. The number of seconds does not always completely transfer to minutes. This number shows the number of seconds remaining. 90 seconds, for example, is 1.5 minutes $\frac{90}{60}$. This indicates that in 90 seconds, there is 1 minute plus an extra half-minute (0.5 minute). Simply increase the decimal by 60 to get back to seconds.

Answer: In 90 seconds, there is 1 minute and $30(0.5 \times 60)$ seconds.

Example: 7600 Seconds is Equal to How Many Minutes?

Ans: The steps to solve this problem is given as follows:

Step 1: 7600 divided by 60 equals $126.6$ minutes

Step 2: $0.6$ divided by 60 equals 36 seconds

So, in 7600 seconds, there are 126 minutes and 36 seconds.

Step 3: Multiply your answer by 60 to double-check your work. If you completed everything right, you should end up with the same number of seconds you started with.

Looking at the previous example, observe that $126.6 \times 60$, indicating that the answer is accurate.

Let's practice some more questions:

Example: Convert 70 Seconds Into Minutes.

Ans: To convert 70 seconds into minutes, we divide 70 by 60

$=\frac{70 }{60}$

$=\frac{7}{6} \text { minutes }$

$=1.1666 \text { minutes }$

$\therefore 70 \text { seconds }=1.166 \text { minutes }$

Example: Convert 1020 Seconds Into Minutes

Ans: 1020 seconds $=(1020 \div 60)$ minutes $(1$ minutes $=60$ seconds $)$

$=17$ minutes

Conclusion

As we have discussed earlier, there are three commonly used measurement units of time: Seconds, days, and years. Since each minute has 60 seconds, converting seconds to minutes, divide the number of seconds by 60 to get the answer in seconds. Since each minute has 60 seconds, converting seconds to minutes, divide the number of seconds by 60 to get the answer in seconds.
