Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 65 hours and 59 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 59 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(65 x 60) + 59 = 3959 minutes
3959 / 60 = 65.983 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 59/60, which is the same as 59 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 65 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
59/60 = 0.983
65 + 0.983 = 65.983 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
