Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 3 hours and 22 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 3 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 22 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(3 x 60) + 22 = 202 minutes
202 / 60 = 3.367 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 22/60, which is the same as 22 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 3 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
22/60 = 0.367
3 + 0.367 = 3.367 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
