Find how many complete hours fit into 217 minutes.
Divide 217 minutes by 3,600:
217 ÷ 3,600 = 3.616666666667
This means 217 minutes contains3 full hours, plus a little extra time.

Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 3 hours contain:
3 × 3,600= 10,800 seconds
We started with 13,020 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
13,020 − 10,800= 2,220 seconds
That leaves 2,220 seconds after counting the 3 full hours.
Final answer
217 minutes = 3 hours and 2,220 seconds
3 full hours + 2,220 seconds left over.
