Time Unit Conversion Formulas
Converting between different time units is essential for calculations in science, programming, planning, and everyday activities. Below are the basic formulas to convert between the most common time units:
- 🔹 Hours to Minutes
Formula:minutes = hours × 60 - 🔹 Minutes to Seconds
Formula:seconds = minutes × 60 - 🔹 Days to Hours
Formula:hours = days × 24 - 🔹 Weeks to Days
Formula:days = weeks × 7 - 🔹 Years to Days (common year)
Formula:days = years × 365 - 🔹 Seconds to Milliseconds
Formula:milliseconds = seconds × 1000 - 🔹 Hours to Seconds
Formula:seconds = hours × 3600 - 🔹 Days to Minutes
Formula:minutes = days × 1440
💡 Note: These formulas are based on standard values. For more precise calculations involving leap years or months, exact calendar days should be considered.
Practical Examples of Time Unit Conversion
Below are practical examples that show how to apply time unit conversion formulas:
- ✅ Example 1: Convert 3 hours to minutes
Calculation:3 × 60 = 180 minutes
Result: 3 hours is 180 minutes - ✅ Example 2: Convert 90 minutes to seconds
Calculation:90 × 60 = 5,400 seconds
Result: 90 minutes is 5,400 seconds - ✅ Example 3: Convert 2 days to hours
Calculation:2 × 24 = 48 hours
Result: 2 days is 48 hours - ✅ Example 4: Convert 4 weeks to days
Calculation:4 × 7 = 28 days
Result: 4 weeks is 28 days - ✅ Example 5: Convert 0.5 years to days (common year)
Calculation:0.5 × 365 = 182.5 days
Result: Half a year is 182.5 days - ✅ Example 6: Convert 120 seconds to milliseconds
Calculation:120 × 1000 = 120,000 milliseconds
Result: 120 seconds is 120,000 milliseconds
