Greetings!
We know that each individual minute has 60 seconds. To find out how many seconds are in 75 minutes, we have to apply the same rate as the one we just established (1 minute = 60 seconds)
In this formula, the minute is divided by number of seconds. The x variable represents seconds in 75 minutes:
[tex] \frac{1}{60}=\frac{75}{x}[/tex]
Cross multiply the terms:
[tex](1)(x)=(75)(60)[/tex]
[tex]x=4500[/tex]
Therefore, there are 4500 seconds in 75 minutes
I hope this helped!
