About seconds and minutes
A minute has 60 seconds, so divide seconds by 60 to get minutes. The result is in decimal minutes: 90 seconds is 1.5 minutes, which is 1 minute 30 seconds.
Race times, cooking and microwave timers, video lengths and workout intervals often come in seconds, while people think in minutes and seconds. This page gives the decimal value, and the FAQ shows how to split it.
