320 seconds is equal how many minutes and seconds

Step: 1

Divide the total number of seconds (320) by 60. This division will give us the number of whole minutes contained in 320 seconds.

320 seconds ÷ 60 = 5 minutes

So, there are 5 minutes in 320 seconds.

Explanation:

Therefore, after accounting for the 5 minutes, we have 20 seconds remaining.

Step: 2

Find the remaining seconds after accounting for the whole minutes.

To do this, we take the remainder from the previous division.

320 seconds % 60 = 20 seconds

Explanation:

We have 20 seconds remaining.

Step: 3

We conclude that 320 seconds is equal to 5 minutes and 20 seconds.

Explanation:

Here, we calculate the seconds in minutes and seconds.
