If you clap your hands once every second, how many claps make a full minute?
It takes exactly 60 seconds to make 1 minute.
What happens if a timer shows 2 minutes? How many seconds have ticked by?

Minutes to Seconds

To change minutes into seconds, we multiply by 60 because each minute has 60 seconds.
For 2 minutes, we calculate 2×60=1202 \times 60 = 120 seconds.
Now, what if we know the seconds first and want to find the minutes?

Seconds to Minutes

To turn seconds into minutes, we divide by 60 to see how many groups of 60 seconds we have.
If a race lasts 180 seconds, we divide 180÷60=3180 \div 60 = 3 minutes.
