Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 29 hours and 36 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 36 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(29 x 60) + 36 = 1776 minutes
1776 / 60 = 29.600 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 36/60, which is the same as 36 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 29 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
36/60 = 0.600
29 + 0.600 = 29.600 hours
