How to Convert Seconds to Minutes
Example: How many minutes are equivalent to 5.94 seconds?
As;
1 seconds = 0.0166666 minutes
5.94 seconds = Y minutes
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 5.94 times 0.0166666 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 5.94 * 0.0166666 / 1 = 0.098999604 minutes
Answer is: 0.098999604 minutes are equivalent to 5.94 seconds.
