Convert the time given below 8 minutes 5 seconds is equal to how many minutes.

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

8 minutes and 5 seconds

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

1 minute = 60 seconds

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

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

Perform the multiplication

Number of seconds = \$ 8 times 60 \$

After multiplication we get

Number of seconds = 480 seconds

Add the number of seconds from the minutes to the remaining seconds

Total number of seconds = 480 seconds (from minutes) + 5 seconds

Perform the addition to get the final result

Total number of seconds = 480 seconds + 5 seconds

After adding we get

Total number of seconds = 485 seconds

So, 8 minutes and 5 seconds is equal to 485 seconds.
