To convert 1000 seconds into minutes, divide the total number of seconds by 60, since there are 60 seconds in a minute.
1000 ÷ 60 = 16.67 minutes.
So, 1000 seconds is equivalent to 16 minutes and 40 seconds. This result is achieved by taking the whole number (16 minutes) and the remainder (0.67 minutes), which is then converted into seconds (0.67 × 60 = 40 seconds). Therefore, 1000 seconds is approximately 16 minutes and 40 seconds.
