Problem

Convert the time given below 8 minutes is equal to how many seconds.

Step

Write down the number of minutes you want to convert to seconds. In this case, we have

8 minutes

Hint

For every minute, there are 60 seconds according to the conversion factor

1 minute = 60 seconds

Formula:

Multiply the number of minutes by 60 \$ "seconds" / "minute" \$ to convert to seconds

Number of seconds = \$ 8 "minutes" times 60 "seconds" / "minute" \$

Step

Perform the multiplication

Number of seconds = \$ 8 times 60 \$

Step

Calculate the result

Number of seconds = 480 seconds

Step

So, 8 minutes is equal to 480 seconds.
