Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 68 hours and 14 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 68 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 14 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(68 x 60) + 14 = 4094 minutes
4094 / 60 = 68.233 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 14/60, which is the same as 14 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 68 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
14/60 = 0.233
68 + 0.233 = 68.233 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
