Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 4 hours and 63 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 4 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 63 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(4 x 60) + 63 = 303 minutes
303 / 60 = 5.050 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 63/60, which is the same as 63 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 4 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
63/60 = 1.050
4 + 1.050 = 5.050 hours
