What is 60 seconds per minute?

60 seconds per minute means there are 60 tiny parts called seconds in every bigger part called a minute.

Imagine you're counting your steps while walking to the park. Each time you take one step, that’s like one second. If you walk all the way to the park and back, that whole trip takes about one minute, which is 60 of those little steps (or seconds)!

• Every time the clock ticks once, that's a second.
• After 60 of those ticks, the clock says “one minute” has passed.

Think of it like counting your favorite candies. If you have 60 pieces and you eat one every second, after 60 seconds, poof!, you’ve eaten a whole minute’s worth of candy!

So when someone says 60 seconds per minute, they’re just telling you how many little bits of time fit into a bigger chunk of time. It's like having 60 tiny pieces in every big piece of your favorite chocolate bar!
