How long is 500000 seconds in minutes?
60 seconds = 1 minute
500,000 seconds = 8,333 1/3minutes
( That's 5days 18hours 53minutes 20seconds )
Why is standard time more useful than local time?
Standard Time means that everybody in that particular time zone follows that time, and not set their own time locally, which was done in the past.
How many minutes are there in one-third of an hour?
I'm going to use a method called dimensional analysis to complete this problem. Essentially, you take your original value, and multiply it by complex versions of 1 (The Multiplicative Property of Identity says that you can multiply any number by 1 and not change the value of it).
We all know that 60 minutes are in 1 hour, so how can we put this in the problem?
Well, if we divide any number by 1, we still get the same number back. You'll see how this is useful in a minute.
So we want to make our initial units of hours cancel out and disappear, so we need to make sure that this is in the denominator of our complex form of 1 that we are multiplying by.
1/3 hour x (1 hour / 1 hour)
This is not going to help us much since we still have hours in the numerator afterwards. So, we can substitute in the equivalent number of minutes in the numerator so that we end up with minutes.
1 hour = 60 minutes
1/3 hour x (60minutes / 1 hour) = 1/3 x 60 minutes = 60/3 minutes
= 20 minutes
Your teacher might say to multiply them together, but it's useful to know why multiplying 1/3 and the number of minutes in an hour yields the correct answer.
I hope you understood, and good luck in your future math endeavors!
If a film starts at 6.45 and lasts 2 hours and 35 minutes what time does it finish?
9:20 will be the finish time.
Which event completes this time line?
Enough states ratify the constitution for it to go into effect. APEX
To convert 25 hours to minute you would use the ratio 1 hour over 60 minutes is that true or false?
That is true.
1/60 is the ratio. To convert 25 hours to minutes, you would multiply 25 by 60, which equals 1500 minutes.
Compulsory voting could solve the problem and should be implemented in the united states.
(Apex Learning) An unintended result of social change.
This equals three hours less than 2 days, or 1 day and 21 hours. There are 24 hours in one day so 24 x 2 = 48.
What is the time that is usually taken for Product Testing?
it depends on the product and market. It can take as few as a couple days or up to months even years for medical products.
