Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 59 hours and 54 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 54 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(59 x 60) + 54 = 3594 minutes
3594 / 60 = 59.900 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 54/60, which is the same as 54 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 59 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
54/60 = 0.900
59 + 0.900 = 59.900 hours
