Add Minutes and Seconds

Add Minutes and Seconds: Learn

How to add minutes and seconds:

  • Add the minutes together.
  • Add the seconds together.
  • If the number of seconds is 60 or more, regroup the seconds into minutes:
    • Subtract 60 from the seconds.
    • Add 1 to the minutes.
    • Repeat until the seconds are less than 60.

Example: Add 4 minutes 21 seconds plus 2 minutes 47 seconds:

  • 4 + 2 = 6 minutes
  • 21 + 47 = 68 seconds
  • Since 68 is 60 or more, regroup the seconds into minutes:
    • 68 - 60 = 8 seconds
    • 6 + 1 = 7 minutes
    • Since the seconds are now less than 60, we are done.
  • Final answer: 7 minutes 8 seconds
