Need minutes and seconds

Round to the nearest hundredth as necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Dividing 978 minutes 15 seconds by 43 gives us 22 minutes 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided minutes and seconds.

In order to divide 978 minutes 15 seconds by 43. First, convert minutes into seconds.

As we know, there are 60 seconds in a minute. So multiply 978 with 60.

978 × 60 = 58680

Therefore, there are 58680 seconds in 978 minutes.

Now add 15 seconds in 58680.

58680 + 15 = 58695 seconds

Now, divide the number 58695 by 43.

$\frac{58695}{43}=1365$

Thus, dividing 978 minutes 15 seconds by 43 gives 1365 seconds, but we need the answer in minutes and seconds.

So, convert the 1365 seconds into minutes by dividing it with 60.

$\frac{1365}{60}=22.75\ minutes$

22.75 minutes can be written as:

22 minutes + 0.75 minutes

22 minutes + 0.75 × 60 seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds)

22 minutes + 45 seconds

Hence, dividing 978 minutes 15 seconds by 43 gives us 22 minutes 45 seconds.
