Calculate the no. of hours first.  There are 3600 seconds in an hour (60 X 60)
29,291/3600=8 hours plus a remainder 491 seconds.  Now to figure out the minutes.  Divide the 491 seconds by 60 to get the minutes:  491/60 =8 minutes with a remainder of 11 seconds.  Final answer: 8 hrs, 8 min, and 11 sec.
