SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting fractions of a second into milliseconds. Specifically, it addresses the calculations for 1/120th of a second and 1/240th of a second. The conversion formula used is straightforward: 1 second equals 1000 milliseconds, thus 1/120th of a second equals 1/120 * 1000 ms, resulting in approximately 8.33 ms. Similarly, 1/240th of a second equals 1/240 * 1000 ms, which is approximately 4.17 ms.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic time measurement conversions
  • Familiarity with fractions and decimal calculations
  • Knowledge of milliseconds as a unit of time
  • Basic arithmetic skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Research time conversion formulas for different units
  • Learn about frame rates in video production and their relation to milliseconds
  • Explore the significance of time measurement in programming and gaming
  • Investigate tools for precise time calculations in software development
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for programmers, video editors, and anyone involved in fields requiring precise time measurements, such as game development and multimedia production.

I don't know the answer to these questions:
1/120th of a second = how many milliseconds?
1/240th of a second = how many milliseconds?

1 second = 1000 ms

So, 1/120th of a second = 1/120 * 1000 ms.
 
Thanks for the answer. :)
