Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 48 hours and 17 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 48 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 17 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(48 x 60) + 17 = 2897 minutes
2897 / 60 = 48.283 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 17/60, which is the same as 17 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 48 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
17/60 = 0.283
48 + 0.283 = 48.283 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
