Question

It took Jude 540 seconds to walk home from school. How many minutes did it take him?

Answer 1

(540 seconds/1 minute)x(1 minute/60seconds). = 9 minutes. Don’t cancel one of the seconds out

Answer 2

To convert seconds to minutes, you need to divide the number of seconds by 60 since there are 60 seconds in a minute.

So, to find out how many minutes it took Jude to walk home from school:

540 seconds ÷ 60 = 9 minutes

It took Jude 9 minutes to walk home from school.
