2. Divide the number of seconds by 60 to convert seconds to minutes. Every 60 seconds a full minute has passed. Dividing a number tells you how many times one number fits in the other.
To convert time to just minutes: 1  2 hours is 2 hours * (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 2 * 60 minutes = 120 minutes. 2  45 minutes is 45 minutes * (1 minute / 1 minute) = 45 * 1 minutes = 45 minutes.  45 seconds is 45 seconds * (1 minute / 60 seconds) = 45/60 minutes = 0.75 minutes.
