Problem

Convert the given time:

3 minutes and 3 seconds is equal to how many seconds.

2

Step

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

3 minutes and 3 seconds

3

Hint

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

1 minute = 60 seconds

4

Formula

Multiply the number of minutes by 60 \$ "seconds" / "minute" \$ to convert to seconds: Number of seconds = \$ 3 "minutes" times 60 "seconds" / "minute" \$

5

Step

Perform the multiplication:

Number of seconds = \$ 3 \times 60 \$

6

Step

After multiplication we get:

Number of seconds = 180 seconds

7

Step

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

Total number of seconds = 180 seconds (from minutes) + 3 seconds

8

Step

Perform the addition to get the final result:

Total number of seconds = 180 seconds + 3 seconds

9

Step

After adding we get:

Total number of seconds = 183 seconds
