Answer 1

7/12 of a minute is equal to 35/60 of 60 seconds, which simplifies to 7/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out what fraction of 60 seconds is equal to 7/12 of a minute, we need to convert both 7/12 of a minute and 60 seconds to the same unit of measurement.

There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 7/12 of a minute would be equal to (7/12) * 60 = 35 seconds.
