CONVERSION OF TIME

The relationship between different units of time given below helps you for their conversion.

1 minute = 60 seconds 1 fortnight = 2 weeks = 14 days
1 hour = 60 minutes 1 year = 12 months

1 day = 24 hours 1 year = 365 days
1 week = 7 days 1 leap year = 366 days

Conversion of Higher Units into Lower Units

To convert higher units of time into lower units, we multiply.
Example 1: Convert the following:

(a) 15 minutes into seconds (b) 8 minutes 52 seconds into seconds

(c) 2 hours 23 minutes 19 seconds into seconds

Solution:
(a) Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds

So, 15 minutes = (15 × 60) seconds = 900 seconds
