Problem

Convert the 150 seconds into minutes and seconds format.

2

Step

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

150 seconds

3

Hint

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

1 minute = 60 seconds

4

Formula

Divide the total seconds by 60 to get the number of whole minutes: Number of whole minutes = \$ 150 "seconds" \div 60 "seconds" / "minute" \$

5

Step

Perform the division:

Number of whole minutes = \$ 150 \div 60 \$

6

Step

After division, we get a quotient is 2 and the remainder is 30.

7

Clue

Here, we are considering the quotient as minutes and the remainder as seconds.

8

Step

Here, total number of minutes and seconds is:

2 minutes and 30 seconds

9
