Answer:

16 seconds or 4/15 minutes

Explanation:

first you would want to find how many seconds per hour by dividing 120 (the amount of seconds in two minutes) by 15 (the amount of hours)

120/15 =8 seconds per hour

Next, multiply 8 by the number of minutes which is two in this case and you will get 16 seconds. converted into minutes this is 4/15
