Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 49 hours and 65 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 49 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 65 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(49 x 60) + 65 = 3005 minutes
3005 / 60 = 50.083 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 65/60, which is the same as 65 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 49 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
65/60 = 1.083
49 + 1.083 = 50.083 hours
