Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 11 hours and 24 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 11 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 24 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(11 x 60) + 24 = 684 minutes
684 / 60 = 11.400 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 24/60, which is the same as 24 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 11 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
24/60 = 0.400
11 + 0.400 = 11.400 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
