1. **State the problem:** We want to find what fraction of 2 minutes is 6 seconds. 2. **Convert units to the same base:** Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, 2 minutes = $2 \times 60 = 120$ seconds. 3. **Set up the fraction:** The fraction of 2 minutes that 6 seconds represents is $\frac{6}{120}$. 4. **Simplify the fraction:** $$\frac{6}{120} = \frac{\cancel{6}^1}{\cancel{120}^{20}} = \frac{1}{20}$$ 5. **Interpretation:** 6 seconds is $\frac{1}{20}$ of 2 minutes. **Final answer:** $\boxed{\frac{1}{20}}$
