How do you convert seconds into minutes and seconds and hours?

Answer 1

There are 60 minutes in one hour, so multiply by 60 to get minutes

There are 60 seconds in one minute, so 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds ni one hour, so multiply by 3600 to get seconds.

If you have a number of hours which has a whole number and a decimal part:

1. keep the whole number of hours and multiply the fractional part by 60 to get the number of minutes;
2. keep the whole number of minutes and multiply the fraction of minutes by 60 to get seconds.

eg 5.338 hours = 5 hours and 0.338 x 60 = 20.28 minutes

20.28 minutes = 20 minutes and 0.28 x 60 = 16.8 seconds

So 5.338 hours = 5 hours, 20 minutes, 16.8 seconds.

Answer 2

To convert seconds into hours, you divide the number of seconds by the number of seconds in an hour, which is 3 600.

Similarly, to convert seconds into minutes, you divide the number of seconds by the number of seconds in a minute, which is 60.

As for converting seconds into seconds, you just leave the number of seconds as it is.

Answer 3

To minutes, you divide by 60. To convert to hours, you divide by 60, then by another 60 (or totally by 3600)
