Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 23 hours and 88 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 23 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 88 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(23 x 60) + 88 = 1468 minutes
1468 / 60 = 24.467 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 88/60, which is the same as 88 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 23 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
88/60 = 1.467
23 + 1.467 = 24.467 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
