Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 72 hours and 57 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 72 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 57 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(72 x 60) + 57 = 4377 minutes
4377 / 60 = 72.950 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 57/60, which is the same as 57 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 72 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
57/60 = 0.950
72 + 0.950 = 72.950 hours
