45 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting time into decimal form is a simple process. To do this, you need to understand the relationship between minutes and hours. An hour is a whole unit of time, and it consists of 60 minutes. To convert minutes into a decimal of an hour, you divide the number of minutes by the total number of minutes in an hour, which is 60. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part 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.
