3 hours as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting hours into a decimal is a straightforward process. Understanding time conversions is essential, as it allows us to express time in different formats. Hours represent a certain duration of time, and converting them into a decimal involves expressing part of an hour as a fraction of a whole. A decimal uses a point to separate the whole number from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
