How to Use the Time Calculator

Follow these steps to add two sets of minutes and seconds using the calculator:

1. Enter First Time

• In the “Minutes (1st)” field, enter the number of minutes.
• In the “Seconds (1st)” field, enter the number of seconds.

2. Enter Second Time

• In the “Minutes (2nd)” field, type the minutes for the second period.
• In the “Seconds (2nd)” field, enter the corresponding seconds.

3. Click “Add Time”

Example

Let’s say you enter:

• First time: 5 minutes, 45 seconds
• Second time: 3 minutes, 30 seconds

Result:

• Total Minutes: 9
• Total Seconds: 15

Why? Because 45 + 30 = 75 seconds → 1 minute 15 seconds. That 1 minute is added to 8 minutes (5+3), totaling 9 minutes 15 seconds.
