    512/60 = 8.5 minutes

    which is the same as the 512/3600 described above, multiplied by 60

    or, 0.14 hours (as above) x 60

    0.14 * 60 correct?

    Even simpler.

    512/60 = the time in minutes as there are 60 seconds in one minute.

    = 8.5
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    If a person was in the phone for
    512 seconds

    How can this be worked out mathematically as to how many hours the person was on the phone for?

    Easiest way please?

    Thanks
