Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 3 minutes contain:
3 × 60= 180 seconds
We started with 230 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
230 − 180= 50 seconds
That leaves 50 seconds after counting the 3 full minutes.
Final answer
230 seconds = 3 minutes and 50 seconds
3 full minutes + 50 seconds left over.
