Question

What is 5.8×10⁶ seconds in minutes?

Answer 1

`96666 (2)/(3)` minutes

Explanation:

Pre-Solving

We want to convert
`5.8 * 10^6` seconds (s) into minutes.

We can use dimensional analysis to do this, where we multiply
`5.8 * 10^6` seconds by a conversion factor to convert it from seconds to minutes (min).

We want to cancel out the seconds label, so to do that we should put seconds on the bottom of our conversion factor.

So, our CF is
`(1 min)/(60 s)`

Solving

Multiply
`5.8 * 10^6` seconds by the conversion factor.

We get:

`5.8 * 10^6 s * (1 min)/(60 s)` =
`96666 (2)/(3)` minutes
