37 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting time to decimals is a simple yet essential skill. It requires an understanding of the relationship between minutes and hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so when converting minutes to a decimal, we are essentially determining how many parts of an hour the minutes represent. A decimal is a way to represent a non-whole number using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

Answer

37 minutes as a decimal can be expressed as 0.6167. This is a terminating decimal.

 

Explanation

To convert 37 minutes to a decimal, we will use division. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 37 by 60 to find the decimal representation.

 

Step 1: Identify the total number of minutes in an hour, which is 60, as the divisor.

 

Step 2: Take the given number of minutes, 37, as the dividend.

 

Step 3: Divide 37 by 60 to convert the minutes into hours in decimal form. Step 4: Perform the division: 37 ÷ 60 = 0.6167.

 

Thus, 37 minutes as a decimal of an hour is 0.6167.
