Conversion Formula

The formula to convert seconds to minutes is dividing the number of seconds by 60. This works because each minute contains 60 seconds. For example, to convert 150 seconds, you do 150 ÷ 60 = 2.5 minutes. This method provides an accurate conversion based on the fixed number of seconds in a minute.

Conversion Example

• Convert 120 seconds:
  • Step 1: Identify the total seconds (120).
  • Step 2: Divide 120 by 60: 120 ÷ 60 = 2.
  • Step 3: The result is 2 minutes.
• Convert 45 seconds:
  • Step 1: Total seconds is 45.
  • Step 2: Divide 45 by 60: 45 ÷ 60 = 0.75.
  • Step 3: The answer is 0.75 minutes.
• Convert 200 seconds:
  • Step 1: Total seconds is 200.
  • Step 2: Divide 200 by 60: 200 ÷ 60 ≈ 3.3333.
  • Step 3: So, it equals approximately 3.3333 minutes.
