What is 5 hours and 42 minutes as a decimal?


Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 5 hours and 42 minutes as a decimal.

Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 5 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60. Then we add that number to the 42 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:

(5 x 60) + 42 = 342 minutes

342 / 60 = 5.700 hours


Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 42/60, which is the same as 42 divided by 60. Then you add that result to the 5 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:

42/60 = 0.700

5 + 0.700 = 5.700 hours
