Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 24 hours and 96 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 24 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 96 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(24 x 60) + 96 = 1536 minutes
1536 / 60 = 25.600 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 96/60, which is the same as 96 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 24 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
96/60 = 1.600
24 + 1.600 = 25.600 hours
