Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 27 hours and 49 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 27 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 49 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(27 x 60) + 49 = 1669 minutes
1669 / 60 = 27.817 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 49/60, which is the same as 49 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 27 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
49/60 = 0.817
27 + 0.817 = 27.817 hours
