C

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

To convert seconds to minutes and seconds, we use the fact that 1 minute equals 60 seconds.

  1. Divide the total seconds by 60 to find the number of full minutes.

    150 seconds60 seconds/minute=2 minutes with a remainder\frac{150 \text{ seconds}}{60 \text{ seconds/minute}} = 2 \text{ minutes with a remainder}
  2. Calculate the remaining seconds.

    150 seconds−(2 minutes×60 seconds/minute)=150 seconds−120 seconds=30 seconds150 \text{ seconds} - (2 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute}) = 150 \text{ seconds} - 120 \text{ seconds} = 30 \text{ seconds}

    So, 150 seconds is equal to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

    Comparing this to the given options:

    a) 3 mins 40 secs

    b) 4 mins 20 secs

    c) 2 mins 30 secs

    The correct option is c.

    The final answer is c) 2 mins 30 secs\boxed{\text{c) 2 mins 30 secs}}.
