I Can't change the column data type

General
1

I have column of duration in seconds but i want to convert it to minutes

trips_2019 <- read.csv("~/Cyclistic/2019/Divvy_Trips_2019_Q1.csv")
trips_2019 <- trips_2019 %>%
    distinct() %>%
    drop_na() 
trips_2019_new <- trips_2019 %>%
  cols_only(tripduration=col_integer()) %>%
  mutate(tripduration_M =tripduration/60 )

but i get this error "Error: Some col_types are not S3 collector objects: 1"

If is.numeric(trips_2019$tripduration) evaluates to TRUE, just


trips_2019$tripduration <- trips_2019$tripduration*60

how can i convert it to numeric data type

If is.character(trips_2019$tripduration) evaluates to TRUE, then trips_2019$tripduration = as.numeric(trips_2019$tripduration). If not, post the output of str(trips_2019)
