Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 8 minutes contain:
8 × 60= 480 seconds
We started with 500 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
500 − 480= 20 seconds
That leaves 20 seconds after counting the 8 full minutes.
Final answer
500 seconds = 8 minutes and 20 seconds
8 full minutes + 20 seconds left over.
