Problem Description:
The task is to convert units of time from minutes to seconds and match the given times in minutes with their equivalent times in seconds. The conversion rule is straightforward:
1 minute = 60 seconds.
Solution Approach:
1.
Understand the Conversion Rule:
Since 1 minute equals 60 seconds, to convert any number of minutes into seconds, we multiply the number of minutes by 60.
2.
Perform the Conversions:
For each given time in minutes, multiply it by 60 to find the equivalent time in seconds.
3.
Match the Results:
Compare the calculated values with the provided options in seconds and draw lines to match them correctly.
Step-by-Step Calculations:
#### 1.
5 minutes
\[
5 \text{ minutes} \times 60 = 300 \text{ seconds}
\]
Match:
5 minutes → 300 seconds
#### 2.
2 minutes
\[
2 \text{ minutes} \times 60 = 120 \text{ seconds}
\]
Match:
2 minutes → 120 seconds
#### 3.
8 minutes
\[
8 \text{ minutes} \times 60 = 480 \text{ seconds}
\]
Match:
8 minutes → 480 seconds
#### 4.
7 minutes
\[
7 \text{ minutes} \times 60 = 420 \text{ seconds}
\]
Match:
7 minutes → 420 seconds
#### 5.
6 minutes
\[
6 \text{ minutes} \times 60 = 360 \text{ seconds}
\]
Match:
6 minutes → 360 seconds
#### 6.
4 minutes
\[
4 \text{ minutes} \times 60 = 240 \text{ seconds}
\]
Match:

#### 7.
10 minutes
\[
10 \text{ minutes} \times 60 = 600 \text{ seconds}
\]
Match:
10 minutes → 600 seconds
Final Matches:
-
5 minutes → 300 seconds
-
2 minutes → 120 seconds
-
