Exercise 46 Page 267

Use the conversion factor that 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds.

1.5min

Practice makes perfect

To convert seconds (s) to minutes (min) we need to create a conversion factor. We know that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute, which means we have the following conversion factor. 1 min/60 s Multiplying 90 seconds by this conversion factor will convert it to minutes.

90 s* 1 min/60 s
90 s* 1 min/60 s
90 s* 1 min/60 s
90 * 1 min/60
90min/60
1.5 min

90 seconds is equal to 1.5 minutes.
