Conversion formula

The conversion factor from minutes to seconds is 60, which means that 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds:

1 min = 60 s

To convert 3.9 minutes into seconds we have to multiply 3.9 by the conversion factor in order to get the time amount from minutes to seconds. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 min → 60 s

3.9 min → T_(s)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in seconds:

T_(s) = 3.9 min × 60 s

T_(s) = 234 s

The final result is:

3.9 min → 234 s

We conclude that 3.9 minutes is equivalent to 234 seconds:

3.9 minutes = 234 seconds

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 second is equal to 0.0042735042735043 × 3.9 minutes.

Another way is saying that 3.9 minutes is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0042735042735043 seconds.
