To convert 70 minutes to seconds, one must use the relationship that 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds. This means you need to multiply the number of minutes by 60 to get the total number of seconds.
Here’s how the conversion process works:
1. Identify the given amount in minutes, which is 70 minutes.
2. Use the correct conversion ratio: [tex]\( 1 \text{ minute} = 60 \text{ seconds} \)[/tex].
3. Multiply the number of minutes by the conversion factor (60).
[tex]\[ 70 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 4200 \text{ seconds} \][/tex]
Given the correct conversion process, the statement [tex]\(\frac{1 \text { second }}{60 \text { minutes }}\)[/tex] is incorrect because it implies that 1 second equals 60 minutes, which is not true.
Therefore, the answer to the question "To convert 70 minutes to seconds, you would use the ratio [tex]\(\frac{1 \text { second }}{60 \text { minutes }}\)[/tex]" is:
B. False
