The problem asks to calculate $\frac{7}{12}$ of 1 minute in seconds. We are given the hint that 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks to calculate $\frac{7}{12}$ of 1 minute in seconds. We are given the hint that 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find $\frac{7}{12}$ of 1 minute.

Since 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, we can write:

$\frac{7}{12} \text{ of } 1 \text{ minute} = \frac{7}{12} \text{ of } 60 \text{ seconds}$

"Of" means multiplication, so we can write this as:

$\frac{7}{12} \times 60 \text{ seconds}$

Now, we can calculate the product:

$\frac{7}{12} \times 60 = \frac{7 \times 60}{12} = \frac{420}{12}$

Divide 420 by 12:

$\frac{420}{12} = 35$

3. Final Answer

35 seconds
