Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 70 hours and 10 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 70 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 10 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(70 x 60) + 10 = 4210 minutes
4210 / 60 = 70.167 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 10/60, which is the same as 10 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 70 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
10/60 = 0.167
70 + 0.167 = 70.167 hours
Note: Answers on this page are rounded to the nearest three decimals.
