Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 1 hours and 2 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 1 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 2 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(1 x 60) + 2 = 62 minutes
62 / 60 = 1.033 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 2/60, which is the same as 2 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 1 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
2/60 = 0.033
1 + 0.033 = 1.033 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
