– So, 15 minutes = 900 seconds. - Convert 30.5 minutes to seconds:
– Start with 30.5 minutes.
– Multiply 30.5 × 60 = 1830.
– Thus, 30.5 minutes equals 1830 seconds. - Convert 5 minutes to seconds:
– Take 5 minutes.
– Multiply 5 × 60 = 300.
– So, 5 minutes equals 300 seconds. - Convert 60 minutes to seconds:
