Frequently asked questions
How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?
Divide the minutes by 60. 45 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.75, so 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours. 15 minutes is 0.25 and 30 minutes is 0.5.
Why isn’t 7:30 the same as 7.30 hours?
Minutes count to 60, decimals count to 100. 7:30 is seven and a half hours, which is 7.5 in decimal. Writing 7.30 would pay only 7 hours 18 minutes.
How do I turn decimal hours back into minutes?
Multiply the decimal part by 60. 8.2 hours is 8 hours plus 0.2 × 60 = 12 minutes, so 8:12.
