Time unit conventions?

Hello, i was wondering if you could give me all the unit converters for seconds, minutes, hours

For example

What do you multiple/divide to get hours to minutesTime unit conventions?
60 seconds = 1 minute (multiply minutes by 60 to get seconds) (divide seconds by 60 to get minutes)

60 minutes = 1 hour (multiply hours by 60 to get minutes)( divide minutes by 60 to get hours)

24 hours = 1 day (multiply days by 24 to get hours)(divide hours by 24 to get days)

7 days = 1 week (multiply weeks by 7 to get day)

s2 weeks = 1 fortnight (multiply fortnights by 2 to get weeks)

365 days = 1 year (366 days in a leap year)

52 weeks = 1 year

26 fortnights = 1 year

12 months = 1 year

10 years = 1 decade

100 years = 1 century

1000 years = 1 milleniumTime unit conventions?
60 sec= 1 min

60 min= 1 hr

3600 sec= 1 hr



If you want to get hours to minutes, you would want to multiply by 60 min.

x hours= (60 min/1 hr)

this way you can cancel units (the hr, because hr is on the left side of = and on bottom on the other side of = so they can cancel) which is very helpful.

Hope this helped!
