Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 38 hours and 41 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 38 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 41 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(38 x 60) + 41 = 2321 minutes
2321 / 60 = 38.683 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 41/60, which is the same as 41 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 38 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
41/60 = 0.683
38 + 0.683 = 38.683 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
