Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 59 hours and 13 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 59 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 13 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(59 x 60) + 13 = 3553 minutes
3553 / 60 = 59.217 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 13/60, which is the same as 13 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 59 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
13/60 = 0.217
59 + 0.217 = 59.217 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
