VIDEO: Convert hundredths of a second

Which is a hundredth of a second

• Times are given as 60 instead of 100, except for the second. Here, 1 second does not correspond to 60 milliseconds, but 1000 milliseconds.
• If you want to calculate a hundredth of this, you have to divide 1000 by 100 and get a value of 10 milliseconds.
• Something different applies to hours and minutes. An hour has 60 Minutes. 1/100 of this is 0.6 minutes.
• A minute has a total of 60 seconds. If you calculate a hundredth of this, this corresponds to 0.6 seconds.

Convert times correctly

• For example, if the task is "12.4 sec - 1.78 sec", this does not correspond to the 60 system. In that case you can simply calculate the result, which is: 10.62 seconds.


Convert hours to seconds - that's how it works in your head

It happens again and again that you have to quickly convert hours into seconds - mostly ...

• The 10 seconds are 10 whole seconds and therefore do not have to be converted. The 0.62 seconds, on the other hand, correspond to 62 hundredths. So you multiply that number by 10 and get the value: 620. The converted result is 10 seconds and 620 milliseconds, or 10620 milliseconds.

• With a result of 10.62 minutes, the calculation would be different. Here you would have to calculate the 0.62 minutes times 0.6 to get the seconds. The result would then be 10 minutes and 37.2 seconds. You can then calculate the 20 hundredths of a second, which would correspond to 200 milliseconds.

Now you know how to convert a hundredth of a second. Have fun!
