Question

How can I change 560 seconds into minutes?

Community Answer

Follow the directions. Divide 560 by 60 to get 9.33333... Subtract the whole number (9) so you're just left with the .33333... part. Multiply by that by 60 to get 20. Your answer is 9 minutes 20 seconds.

Question

How can I find minutes from fractions?

Community Answer

If you mean fractions of an hour, you multiply by sixty then multiply by the fraction, e.g. 3/4 of an hour = 60 X3 then divide by 4 = 45 minutes.

Question

What is the answer to this?: A digital wristwatch was set accurately at 8:30 AM., then lost 2 seconds every 5 minutes. What time was indicated on the watch at 6:30 PM of the same day if the watch operated continuously until that time?

Community Answer

It is given that 2 seconds are lost per each 5 minutes. So, for 60 minutes, 24 seconds will be lost and for 10 hrs (600 minutes), 240 secs (240 divided by 60=4minutes) are lost. And since we now have our work in place: 6:30 PM minus 4 minutes = 6:26 PM.

Question

Method to convert the following to hours and minutes? 375 min

Community Answer

Divide by 60. If you divide by hand, the whole number is the hours and the remainder is the minutes. If you divide using a calculator, the whole number is the hours and the number after the decimal can be converted back to minutes by multiplying by 60. For example, in this case 375/60 = 6.25. .25 * 60 = 15. The final answer is 6 hours and 15 minutes.

Question

Why do we divide the numbers to get another one?

Donagan

Top Answerer

In any given length of time, there are fewer minutes than seconds (because minutes are longer than seconds). Therefore, you have to divide the number of seconds by 60 to get minutes, because dividing results in a smaller number.
