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.
