Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 26 hours and 80 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 80 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(26 x 60) + 80 = 1640 minutes
1640 / 60 = 27.333 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 80/60, which is the same as 80 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 26 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
80/60 = 1.333
26 + 1.333 = 27.333 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
