To convert minutes to seconds, use this rule: 1 minute (min) = 60 seconds (s).
Examples
Tip: If you see min, it means minutes. Convert minutes to seconds by multiplying by 60 every time.
There are 60 seconds in 1 minute. Time uses base-60, so every minute breaks into 60 equal parts.
Multiply the number of minutes by 60.
Seconds = minutes × 60
Use this simple formula:
seconds = minutes × 60
1 minute = 60 seconds.
2 minutes = 120 seconds (2 × 60).
3 minutes = 180 seconds (3 × 60).
5 minutes = 300 seconds (5 × 60).
10 minutes = 600 seconds (10 × 60).
15 minutes = 900 seconds (15 × 60).
20 minutes = 1,200 seconds (20 × 60).
30 minutes = 1,800 seconds (30 × 60).
45 minutes = 2,700 seconds (45 × 60).
60 minutes = 3,600 seconds. That’s also 1 hour.
90 minutes = 5,400 seconds (90 × 60).
Multiply the full number by 60, even if it has decimals.
Example: 2.5 minutes × 60 = 150 seconds.
Divide seconds by 60.
Minutes = seconds ÷ 60
Example: 150 seconds ÷ 60 = 2.5 minutes.
Timekeeping came from older counting systems that used 60 as a base. It stuck because it divides evenly into many parts (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and more).
Half a minute is 30 seconds (0.5 × 60).
A quarter-minute is 15 seconds (0.25 × 60).
In everyday use, yes, 1 minute = 60 seconds. In some scientific settings, a “minute” can mean an angle unit (arcminute), but that’s not a time unit.
