Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 26 hours and 39 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 26 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 39 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(26 x 60) + 39 = 1599 minutes
1599 / 60 = 26.650 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 39/60, which is the same as 39 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 26 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
39/60 = 0.650
26 + 0.650 = 26.650 hours
