If i say every 1.5 seconds, is that every 1''30''' or 1"50'''

 

[Boar]

Every 1.5 seconds = 1.3 seconds

 

[InfinateAnswers]

alright so in 2 intervals its been 3 seconds?

 

[defskull]

Yes.

Some Math Class
60 second = 1 minute
30 second = 0.5 minute
15 second = 0.25 minute
7.5 second = 0.125 munute

60 second = 1 minute
90 second = 1.5 minute
120 second = 2 minute
150 second = 2.5 minute
180 second = 3 minute

yeah im not retarded i know time...

1 = 1 second
1.5 = 1.500 seconds
1.75 = 1.750 seconds
67.26 = 1 min + 7.260 seconds

Still related to math:
Fractions of Degrees

There are two methods of expressing fractions of degrees.

1. The first method divides each degree into 60 minutes (1° = 60'), then each minute into 60 seconds (1' = 60"). For example, you may see the degrees of an angle stated like this: 37° 42' 17"
   The symbol for degrees is ° , for minutes is ', and for seconds is ".
2. The second method states the fraction as a decimal of a degree. This is the method we will use. An example is 37° 42' 17" expressed as 37.7047° .

To convert degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) to degrees and decimals of a degree (DD):

1. First: Convert the seconds to a fraction.
   Since there are 60 seconds in each minute, 37° 42' 17" can be expressed as
   37° 42 17/60'. Convert to 37° 42.2833'.
2. Second: Convert the minutes to a fraction.
   Since there are 60 minutes in each degree, 37° 42.2833' can be expressed as
   37 42.2833/60° . Convert to 37.7047° .

To convert degrees and decimals of degrees (DD) to degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS), referse the previous process.

First: Subtract the whole degrees. Convert the fraction to minutes. Multiply the decimal of a degree by 60 (the number of minutes in a degree). The whole number of the answer is the whole minutes.

Second: Subtract the whole minutes from the answer.

Third: Convert the decimal number remaining (from minutes) to seconds. Multiply the decimal by 60 (the number of seconds in a minute). The whole number of the answer is the whole seconds.

Fourth: If there is a decimal remaining, write that down as the decimal of a second.

Example: Convert 5.23456° to DMS.

5.23456° - 5° = 023456° 5° is the whole degrees
0.23456° x 60' per degree = 14.0736' 14 is the whole minutes
0.0736' x 60" per minutes = 4.416" 4.416" is the seconds

DMS is stated as 5° 14' 4.416"

Uhhhh, Kobas

 

[SA Dashie]

so much effort into such a simple thing

 

[InfinateAnswers]

i was good with the first reply... dont need to give me a paragraph that i wont read

Sorry I thought that you need better explanation.

Uhhhh, Kobas

so much effort into such a simple thing

Internet is wonderful, once when you learn how to use it

Time is measured in seconds. 0.1 seconds is 1 tenth of a second.

Every 1.5 seconds = 1.3 seconds

Whoever wrote this is probably failing maths. 1.5 of unit X clearly is not the same as 1.3 of unit X unless unit X is 0 or infinity.

If i say every 1.5 seconds, is that every 1''30''' or 1"50'''

What on earth are you asking...

Time is measured in seconds. Smaller units of time are measured in miliseconds which are 1000th of a second. Then it goes microseconds, nanoseconds, picoseconds, femptoseconds etc.

" 1''30''' or 1"50''' " are not valid ways of representing a second.

1.5 seconds is 1.5 seconds which is 1 second and a half second or 1 second and 500 miliseconds.

Minutes do not follow standard unit progression and are used purly because they are convenient for every day use. After seconds they are a natural progression (eg, a day is how long it takes for earth to spin 2pi around its access and a year is how long it takes us to orbit the sun a full 2pi. Idealy it should go kiloseconds, megaseconds and gigaseconds etc but these are rather un natural units.
