Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 47 hours and 37 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 47 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 37 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(47 x 60) + 37 = 2857 minutes
2857 / 60 = 47.617 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 37/60, which is the same as 37 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 47 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
37/60 = 0.617
47 + 0.617 = 47.617 hours
