11 minutes as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question on converting time to decimals. First, we need to understand time units and decimals. Time is often measured in hours, minutes, and seconds. Here, we are focusing on minutes. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. In our context, converting minutes to a decimal involves determining what fraction of an hour those minutes represent.

Answer

 

11 minutes as a decimal is 0.1833.... It is a recurring decimal, indicating a repeating pattern.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 11 minutes to a decimal, we use division. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 11 minutes is a fraction of an hour.

 

Let's see the step-by-step process:

 

Step 1: Identify the total minutes in an hour (60) and the minutes to convert (11).

 

Step 2: Divide 11 by 60, as 60 is the total minutes in one hour.

 

Step 3: Perform the division: 11 ÷ 60 = 0.1833...

 

Step 4: The decimal repeats because the division doesn't result in a terminating decimal.

 

The answer for 11 minutes as a decimal is 0.1833...
