How to Convert Minute to Second
- 1 min = 60 s
- 1 s = 0.01666666667 min
- Example: convert 15 min to s: 15 min = 15 × 60 s = 900 s
Formula
s = min × 60
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 min = 60 s
- SI base unit: 9 192 631 770 periods of the caesium-133 hyperfine transition
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Minute definition: minute; Second definition: second.
Worked examples
- A 2.5 min test run lasts 150 s.
2.5 min × 60 = 150 s - 45 min is 2700 s.
45 min × 60 = 2700 s
