Question

Jasmine's dessert takes 3 1/2 minutes to cook in the microwave. How many seconds is this?

Answer 1

Hi there!

So first you need to know that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

So 3 and 1/2 minutes would be 3 times 60 seconds plus 30 seconds (1/2 minute is 30 seconds because 60 ÷ 2 = 30) :

(3 × 60) + 30 = Number of seconds

180 + 30 = Number of seconds

210 = Number of seconds → ANSWER

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
