25 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting time into decimals is a straightforward process. To do this, we need to understand the relationship between minutes and hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour. When we express a portion of an hour as a decimal, we divide the given minutes by 60. A decimal is a numerical representation that uses a point to separate the whole number from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, while those to the right represent the fractional part.
