HOW DO I CONVERT SECONDS TO HOURS?

12 Answers

• Divide the number of seconds by 3600.

  (That’s because there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. 60 x 60 = 3600.)

  For example, if you had 5400 seconds, that would be:

  5400 / 3600

  = 54/36

  = 6/4

  = 3/2

  = 1½ hours

  Or if you had 360 seconds:

  = 360/3600

  = 1/10 hour

  (or 0.1 hour)

  Edit: For converting minutes into hours, divide by *60*.

  3 minutes / 60 minutes/hr = 1/20 hour

  = 0.05 hours

• Seconds To Hours

• How many 30 seconds are in 1 hour?

• You just need to remember your conversion factors.

  so 1 hour = 60 minutes

  1 minute = 60 seconds

  so then 1 hour = 60 minutes x 60 seconds in a minute = 3600

  so 1 hour= 3600seconds

  to turn 3 minutes into hours you can either solve it by using the conversion factor or setup a proportion, which is essentially the same thing.

  so normally you have 60 minutes in 1 hour so: 60m/1h

  now you have 3 minutes in x hours. so 3m/x

  so set them equal to each other:

  60m/1h = 3m/x

  cross multiply to get:

  60x = 3

  and solve.

  so divide both sides by 60:

  60x/60 = 3/60

  and you get:

  x= 3/60

  which simplifies to 1/20

  so 3 minutes is 1/20th of an hour… or 0.05 hours.

• you multiply 3600 to convert seconds into hours because 60 secs* 60 mins =3600 secs

  but the thing you said about 3 mins into hours is 1 twentieth of an hour

• 1 hour=3600 seconds

  RE:

• 1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds

  use this relation to get your answer.

• well there is 60seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. 60×60 is 3600. 60 seconds / 3600 is 0.017 hours…

• 1 hr = 60 min.

  1 min = 60 ses.

  1 hr = 60 min = 60 × 60 = 3600 sec.

  60 min = 1 hr.

  3 min = 3/60 = 1/20 hr = 0.05 hr
