What does convert mean

Question

Convert the number of minutes on this table to the seconds.

Answer 1

There are 60 sec in a minute.

If the table has 2 minutes, then in seconds this is 120 and so forth.

This is equivalent to the question how many seconds are there in a specified number of minutes.

Answer 2

Hi, Shakaira.

 

It means you want to change it from minutes into seconds.

 

So, to convert 30 minutes into seconds, you multiply by 60seconds/1minute:

 

30min  x  60sec/1min = 1800 seconds = 30 minutes
