I'm kinda embarrassed about this but I need help with a few maths questions which are bound to show up on my exam next week. Here's one such question:
Convert 16315 seconds into hours, minutes and seconds
Here is my current working out:
16315 divided by 60 =271.916666667 (for hours)
271.916666667 divided by 60 =4.53194444444 (for minutes) etc
The frustrating thing is that on the answer sheet it jumps from 4.53194444444 to hrs=4:31:55 and I don't know that can be right. So I'm feeling kinda dumb but this question is worth a good 2 points and I know that it's something I should be able to answer. Help?
