To convert 42.4 minutes into seconds we have to multiply 42.4 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

42.4 min → T_(s)

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

T_(s) = 42.4 min × 60 s

T_(s) = 2544 s

The final result is:

42.4 min → 2544 s

We conclude that 42.4 minutes is equivalent to 2544 seconds:

42.4 minutes = 2544 seconds
