Question

Jasmine's dessert takes 3½ minutes to cook in the microwave. How many seconds is this?

Answer 1

There are 60 seconds in a minute so three of that would be 180 seconds for the three minutes. But we still have a half left so half of 60 is 30 and 180+30=210 so your total would be 210 seconds in 3$\frac{1}2}$ minutes.

Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

 The answer will be 210 seconds. 60 X 3 = 180+ 30= 210
