Time conversion examples
Cooking: 1.5 hours = 90 minutes. Useful when a recipe specifies time in different units.
Project planning: 2 weeks = 336 hours. Helpful for estimating work effort on a project.
Programming: 5000 milliseconds = 5 seconds. Common when debugging timeouts and delays in software.
When to use a time converter?
A time converter is useful in many situations: cooking and baking, project management, scientific calculations, programming and everyday planning. It is especially handy when dealing with very small units like milliseconds or very large ones like weeks.
