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 42.3 minutes into seconds we have to multiply 42.3 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

42.3 min → T_(s)

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

T_(s) = 42.3 min × 60 s

T_(s) = 2538 s

The final result is:

42.3 min → 2538 s

We conclude that 42.3 minutes is equivalent to 2538 seconds:

42.3 minutes = 2538 seconds
