13 minutes as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question on converting minutes to a decimal form. To do this, we need to understand the relationship between minutes and hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a 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.
