Answer to Problem 1UYK

Solution: The time in seconds is preferable over the time in minutes.

Explanation of Solution

Both seconds and minutes are the units of the time by which they are measured. There are 60 seconds in a minute and there are 60 minutes in an hour. If the time of the iTunes playlist is expressed in the form of minutes, then the time is in the decimal form which is complicated to understand for a non-mathematical person. But if the time is expressed in the form of seconds, then the time is in the form of whole number which is easy to understand for a non-mathematical person.

Therefore, the time in seconds is preferable over the time in minutes.
