400 seconds * 1.5 = 600 seconds

600 seconds at 2x speed would be 600 / 2, or 300s. 600 seconds at 1.5x speed would be 600 / 1.5 = 400

If you watch a movie at 1.5 speed you are watching 25% faster.
10x .25=2.5-10= 7.5

It should be 7 minutes and 30 seconds if I did my math right. 1.5x is 50% faster. So it should be done in 0.75 the speed of 10 minutes. Plug that into a simple ratio and proportion formula and you get 7.5 which is 7 minutes and 30 seconds. I also converted 10 minutes into seconds before doing the ratio and proportion. Then I converted those seconds back to minutes to make sure there was no wonky shit with the 60 seconds being a minute

1.5 speed means you play for 1 second per 1.5 seconds of video, multiply this by seconds of video to get the seconds played

[(1 second played)/(1.5 s video)]*600 s video = x s played
400 s played = x s played
x = 400

400 seconds played = 6 minutes 40 seconds

The easy way to do it:

If watching at 2x speed, you cut it in half.

So itd take 5 minutes.

1.50 is just half of doubling. So its a quarter fast.

half of 5 minutes is 2.5 minutes.

10-2.5 = 7.5.

Convert into time, and you get 7 min, 30 secs.

Am I wrong in thinking that 2x speed would be 5 minutes (10/2), .5x speed would be 20 minutes (10/.5), and so 1.5 speed would be 6:40 (10/1.5)?

the first result shows 6m40s

https://www.quora.com/How-long-will-it-take-to-watch-a-10-minute-video-if-I-watch-it-at-1-5-speed

here's a calculator that works on hours + minutes, but wont show seconds. type in "10 hours" at 1.5 speed and it shows 6h40m.

i dont understand

Percentages are weird. 50% doesnt mean twice as fast. Twice as fast is 100%. So if you look at the number 1 as 100% speed, then if you want to convert that into 2x speed then it would cut the time in half. So half of 1 is 0.5. However, it is at 1.5x speed, not 2x speed. So what is in between 0.5 and 1? 0.75.

So if we plug that info into a ratio and proportion you would get

600 seconds aka 10 minutes/1 = X amount of seconds/0.75

Solve for X and you will get how long it take in seconds to finish the video. Convert that to minutes

Reciprocals.

1.5 speed is 3/2 speed, requiring 2/3 the time.

Just like doubling speed requires half the time.

Because they dont understand how time is not a fraction out of 100, so it doesnt work.

right, 50% means half as fast.

twice as fast is 2x, or +100%. if you watch a video in 2x speed, you cut the time in half (divide by 2). if you watch a video in 3x speed you cut the time in 1/3 (divide by 3). ergo if you watch a video at 1.5x speed, you divide the total time by 1.5.

At 1.5 speed, for every second you gain a half second compared to standard speed. So at 1/2 the run-time you gained 1/4 and are at 3/4. At 2/3 you gained 1/3 and are at 3/3. So 6:40 to finish a 10:00 video.

The inverse of 1.5 is 2/3s. Convert 10 minutes to seconds, multiply it by 2/3 and then convert it to minutes with seconds remaining

This, wtf?

600 seconds is 1x speed

2x speed is 300 seconds

So 1,5x speed is right in the middle of 300 and 600 seconds, so 450 seconds which is 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

Let's stick to that logic:

1x speed is 600 seconds
3x speed is 200 seconds
So 2x speed is right in the middle of 600 and 200 seconds, so 400 seconds, right? ... No
