Question

Write a numerical or variable expression for the quantity: the number of seconds in m minutes

Answer 1

60 minutes = 1 hour  

Divide both sides by 60 to get 1 minute = 1/60 hours and then multiply both sides by 'm' to get m minutes = m/60 hours.  

So 'm' minutes equals m/60 hours.  

Ex: If m=120, then 120 minutes = 120/60 = 2 hours
