Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 17 hours and 45 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 17 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 45 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(17 x 60) + 45 = 1065 minutes
1065 / 60 = 17.750 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 45/60, which is the same as 45 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 17 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
45/60 = 0.750
17 + 0.750 = 17.750 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
