Question

How many seconds are there in 3 min?

• A. $180$
• B. $120$
• C. $210$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $180$

We already know that 1 min has 60 s.

To find the number of seconds in 3 min, multiply 3 by 60.

$\text{Let us multiply}60\times 3\text{through a tape}$ $\text{diagram, wherein we add}60$
$\text{3 times in the following manner:}$


∴ $60\times 3=180$

Hence, there are 180 s in 3 min.
