Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 86 hours and 33 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 86 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 33 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(86 x 60) + 33 = 5193 minutes
5193 / 60 = 86.550 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 33/60, which is the same as 33 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 86 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
33/60 = 0.550
86 + 0.550 = 86.550 hours
