How do I take input values in minutes and seconds?

Question

Hi guys I wanna design a software in python which takes input in minutes and seconds and convert them into pure minutes. For example, it takes input 1:30 and then converts it into 1.5

Sorry I don't have any post of code, I wanna take inputs from scratch

Answer 1

basically you can use split() to split your input then convert them to int then do min + second / 60 and you have your answer in float form
here is an example

Don't complicate things for yourself.

If 1:30 is 1.5, how do you convert 1:31 to pure minutes?

That should be about 1.51 something. what do you want to use this converted number for?
