Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 65 hours and 58 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 65 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 58 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(65 x 60) + 58 = 3958 minutes
3958 / 60 = 65.967 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 58/60, which is the same as 58 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 65 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
58/60 = 0.967
65 + 0.967 = 65.967 hours
