Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 68 hours and 18 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 18 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(68 x 60) + 18 = 4098 minutes
4098 / 60 = 68.300 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 18/60, which is the same as 18 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 68 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
18/60 = 0.300
68 + 0.300 = 68.300 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
