You are no doubt familiar with hours, minutes and seconds. You probably know that:
60 seconds = 1 minute
60 minutes = 1 hour
24 hours = 1 day
133 seconds = ___ minutes and ___ seconds
To simplify seconds into minutes and seconds you must figure out
how many sets of 60 seconds you can get out of the original number
of seconds.
133/60 = 2 r13
So, in this case you can get 2 minute's worth of seconds out of 133
seconds with 13 seconds left over.
ANSWER: 133 seconds = 2 minutes and 13 seconds.
It's better to write our answer like this: 2:13 (although some
people may say that it is unclear here whether you are talking
about 2 hours and thirteen minutes or two minutes and thirteen
seconds).
Simplify: 155 minutes.
SOLUTION: Divide 155 by 60. 155/60 = 2 r35
ANSWER: 2:35
