To determine how many minutes are equivalent to 45,500 milliseconds, we need to follow a step-by-step conversion process from milliseconds to minutes.
1. Convert milliseconds to seconds:
There are 1,000 milliseconds in one second. Therefore, to convert milliseconds to seconds, divide the number of milliseconds by 1,000.
[tex]\[
45,500 \, \text{milliseconds} \, \div 1,000 = 45.5 \, \text{seconds}
\][/tex]
2. Convert seconds to minutes:
There are 60 seconds in one minute. Therefore, to convert seconds to minutes, divide the number of seconds by 60.
[tex]\[
45.5 \, \text{seconds} \, \div 60 = 0.7583333333333333 \, \text{minutes}
\][/tex]
Thus, 45,500 milliseconds is equivalent to approximately 0.7583 minutes (rounded to four decimal places). In standard form, this can also be written as:
[tex]\[
0.758 \, \text{minutes} \, \text{or approximately 0.76 minutes}
\][/tex]
