Conversion Formula
The conversion from seconds to minutes uses the formula: minutes = seconds / 60. This works because each minute contains 60 seconds. By dividing the total seconds by 60, we find out how many complete minutes are within the seconds. For example, 120 seconds divided by 60 equals 2 minutes.
If you have 150 seconds, dividing 150 by 60 gives 2.5. This means there are two full minutes and half a minute, or 30 seconds. The division effectively converts the smaller unit (seconds) into the larger unit (minutes) based on their relation.
