1
Find how many complete hours fit into 72 minutes.
Divide 72 minutes by 3,600:
72 ÷ 3,600 = 1.2
This means 72 minutes contains1 full hours, plus a little extra time.

Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 1 hours contain:
1 × 3,600= 3,600 seconds
We started with 4,320 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
4,320 − 3,600= 720 seconds
That leaves 720 seconds after counting the 1 full hours.
Final answer
72 minutes = 1 hours and 720 seconds
1 full hours + 720 seconds left over.
