Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 29 hours and 15 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 29 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 15 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(29 x 60) + 15 = 1755 minutes
1755 / 60 = 29.250 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 15/60, which is the same as 15 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 29 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
15/60 = 0.250
29 + 0.250 = 29.250 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
