34 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting minutes to a decimal involves understanding the relationship between time and decimal representation. Time is often measured in hours, minutes, and seconds, but it can also be expressed as a decimal. To convert minutes to a decimal, you need to understand the fraction of an hour that the minutes represent. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the number of minutes can be divided by 60 to find the decimal representation.
