Question

135 seconds is equivalent to how many minutes?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that 1 minute = 60 seconds. To convert seconds to minutes, we divide the number of seconds by 60.

Step2: Perform the division

We have 135 seconds. So we calculate $\frac{135}{60}$. Simplifying this fraction, we can divide numerator and denominator by 15: $\frac{135\div15}{60\div15}=\frac{9}{4} = 2.25$ or as a fraction $\frac{9}{4}$ minutes (which is also $2\frac{1}{4}$ minutes).

Answer:

$\frac{9}{4}$ (or 2.25) minutes
