alleryIf m is the number of minutes, which equation gives the number of seconds s?
As = m + 60
Bs = 60 × m
Cs = m / 60
Ds = 60 - m
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. s = 60 × m
1. One minute has 60 seconds.
2. So m minutes have 60 × m seconds, giving s = 60 × m.
3. Dividing by 60 would convert seconds into minutes, which is the reverse.
