Question #0f4bb

Answer 1

`1800` seconds.

Explanation:

There are `30` minutes in half of an hour, and `60` seconds in a minute.

There are `60` seconds for every minute, and we have `30` minutes, so we multiply `30` and `60`.

`30 * 60 = 1800` seconds.

Answer 2

`1/2 xx60xx60 = 1,800` seconds.

Explanation:

It is possible that the fraction makes this question look a bit difficult. However, it follows the same method as any other conversion from hours to seconds.

There are `60` minutes in `1` hour and `60` seconds in `1` minute.

So convert a number of hours to seconds, multiply by `60 xx60`

`1 " hours" = 1 xx60xx60 = 3,600` seconds
`3 " hours" = 3 xx60xx60 = 10,800` seconds

If you have a fraction of n hour, the same method applies.

`1/2 xx60xx60 = 1,800` seconds.
