Re: Teachers...8th grade math help

1 minute = 60 seconds

so in algebraic terms,

m = 60s

s/60

Whatever s equals, if you divide by 60, you get the # of minutes

m = 60s



This is an algebraic equation, an algebraic expression doesn't have an equals sign.

Check to see which the question is asking for.

Thanks, I teach 7th grade math Chat Icon . Can you tell my mind is on conversions??

If you are trying to solve the number of minutes in s seconds, then I think it is m = s/60 or just s/60

I used to teach HS math - I just saw the equals sign and said "equation!"
