Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 2 hours contain:
2 × 3,600= 7,200 seconds
We started with 10,320 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
10,320 − 7,200= 3,120 seconds
That leaves 3,120 seconds after counting the 2 full hours.
Final answer
172 minutes = 2 hours and 3,120 seconds
2 full hours + 3,120 seconds left over.
