“Good to Know”
- Quick Math:
- To get minutes: Divide seconds by 60.
- To get hours: Divide seconds by 3,600.
- The Minute: A minute was originally defined as $1/60th$ of an hour, and a second as $1/60th$ of a minute. Today, however, the “SI Second” is the base unit of time, defined by the vibration of a cesium atom!
