Is that 2.62 seconds? Or is it some other scale of time, so it’s like 2.62 minutes, or 2 minutes 37 seconds?

If it’s already seconds, just format the string when you ‘ToString’ it:

canvas.text = seconds.ToString("0");

Here you can find the numeric format strings that exist.

There’s also Mathf.RoundToInt(insertYourTimeVariableHere);

But that would round, instead of truncating, which wouldn’t be the correct behavior. ToString(“0”) is fine.

Divide by 60 gives you minutes.

But the seconds will be the decimal values on it. So floor it to get the minutes. And then multiply the fractional part (modulo over 1 to get the fractional part) by 60 to get seconds.

Of course, there is a .Net type that does all this for you easily:
System.TimeSpan

var ts = System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(amountOfSeconds);
var mins = ts.Minutes;
var secs = ts.Seconds;

Note there are Minutes, and TotalMinutes. Minutes is the integer minutes currently so if you were to write : 3 hours 5 minutes 32 seconds. Where as TotalMinutes (or any of the totals) is the complete and total time. So like TotalSeconds would return 300 in your case.
