3.8 minutes in minutes and seconds

Here we will explain and show you how to convert 3.8 minutes to minutes and seconds. At first glance, some may think that the whole number is the minutes and the decimal number (fractional part) is the seconds, but that is not exactly the case.

The whole number is, in fact, the number of whole minutes (3 minutes), but we have to do some math to calculate the number of seconds.

3.8 minutes is 3 minutes plus 80/100 of a minute. There are not 100 seconds, but 60 seconds in a minute. Therefore, we solve the following equation to find out how many seconds (sec) in 80/100, like this:

sec/60 = 80/100
(sec/60)×60 = (80/100)×60
sec = 4800/100
sec = 48

Now we have the correct number of minutes and seconds in 3.8 minutes! Below is the answer to 3.8 minutes in minutes and seconds:
