How do you convert 221 seconds into minutes and seconds?

Answer 1

one way to look at it

there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

1 minute = 60 seconds

2 minutes = 120 seconds

3 minutes = 180 seconds

4 minutes = 240 seconds

so 221 seconds is between 180 seconds and 240 seconds so 221 seconds is equal or greater to 3 minutes and less than 4 minutes

so therefore the answer is 3 minutes plus some seconds

if you take 180 from 221 = 41 seconds then the total time is 3 minutes and 41 seconds.

answer: 3 minutes and 41 seconds

to check 3 minutes is 180 seconds.. then add 41 to 180 = 221
