Decimal seconds, or décimales de seconde in French, is a way of measuring time in fractions of a second. It is commonly used in sports and scientific measurements.
To convert decimal seconds to traditional seconds in French, simply multiply the decimal by 60. For example, 0.5 décimales de seconde would be equivalent to 30 traditional seconds.
Sure, in sports, a race time of 10.25 seconds would be written as 10 secondes et 25 décimales de seconde in French.
In French, decimal seconds are written with a comma, instead of a period, to separate the whole and decimal parts. For example, 5.75 seconds would be written as 5,75 secondes in French.
Decimal seconds are used in French to provide a more precise measurement of time, especially in sports and scientific contexts where traditional seconds may not be precise enough.
