To convert seconds into minutes, you need to divide each second by 60 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nYou can use these parameters for any type of time conversion.<\/p>\n
Solved Examples on Converting Units of Time<\/h3>\n
1. Convert the following<\/p>\n
(i) 5\u00a0hours 30 minutes into minutes<\/p>\n
(ii)90 minutes to seconds<\/p>\n
Solution:<\/p>\n
(i) 5\u00a0hours 30 minutes into minutes<\/p>\n
We know 1 hr = 60 minutes<\/p>\n
5 hours = 5*60 minutes<\/p>\n
= 300 minutes<\/p>\n
5 hrs 30 minutes = 300 minutes +30 minutes<\/p>\n
= 330 minutes<\/p>\n
Therefore, 5 hours 30 minutes = 330 minutes<\/p>\n
(ii)90 minutes to seconds<\/p>\n
We know 1 minute = 60 seconds<\/p>\n
90 minutes = 90*60 seconds<\/p>\n
= 5400 seconds<\/p>\n
Therefore, 90 minutes = 5400 seconds<\/p>\n
2. Find the total time<\/p>\n
5 hours 40 minutes and 3 hours 20 minutes<\/p>\n
Solution:<\/p>\n
Firstly add the hours i.e. 5 hours +3 hours<\/p>\n
= 8 hours<\/p>\n
Now add the minutes individually i.e. 40 minutes +20 minutes<\/p>\n
= 60 minutes<\/p>\n
= 1 hour<\/p>\n
Now, add this to the hours we got in the earlier step i.e. 8 hours +1 hour<\/p>\n
= 9 hours<\/p>\n
Therefore, 5 hours 40 minutes and 3 hours 20 minutes is equal to 9 hours<\/p>\n
Frequently Asked Questions on Units of Time<\/h3>\n
1. What is the SI unit of time?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe SI unit of time is seconds.<\/p>\n
2. What are the 3 possible units of time?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe three most used units of time are seconds, minutes, and hours. 1 minute = 60 seconds, 1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds.<\/p>\n
3. What are the different units of a second?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe various units of a second from the smallest to the largest values are along the lines:
\nDecisecond (1\/10th of a second), centisecond (1\/100th of a second), millisecond (1\/1000th of a second), microsecond (one-millionth of a second), nanosecond (one-billionth of a second), picosecond (one-trillionth of a second), femtosecond (one-quadrillionth of a second), attosecond (one-quintillionth of a second), zeptosecond (one-sextillionth of a second), yoctosecond (one-septillionth of a second), and Planck time.<\/p>\n
4. What is the largest unit of time?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe largest unit of time is the supereon. It is the combination of eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
