Find how many complete hours fit into 490 minutes.

Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 8 hours contain:
8 × 3,600= 28,800 seconds
We started with 29,400 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
29,400 − 28,800= 600 seconds
That leaves 600 seconds after counting the 8 full hours.
Final answer
490 minutes = 8 hours and 600 seconds
8 full hours + 600 seconds left over.
