Adding Mixed Time

Steps to add minutes and seconds:

1. Add the minutes.

2. Add the seconds.

3. If the seconds are 60 or more, then, decrease the seconds by 60 and increase the minutes by 1.

(Since, 1 minute = 60 seconds)

 

For example: Let's add:

3 minutes 47 seconds + 2 minutes 23 seconds = ?

 

First let's add the minutes.

3 minutes + 2 minutes = 5 minutes

 

Now, add the seconds.

47 seconds + 23 seconds = 70 seconds
