Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 59 hours and 82 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 82 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(59 x 60) + 82 = 3622 minutes
3622 / 60 = 60.367 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 82/60, which is the same as 82 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 59 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
82/60 = 1.367
59 + 1.367 = 60.367 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
