22 minutes as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question about converting time into a decimal. In this context, we focus on converting minutes into a decimal form of an hour. We need to understand the concept of time conversion, where 1 hour equals 60 minutes. A decimal represents a number that is 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.

22 minutes as a decimal

Answer

 

22 minutes as a decimal can be expressed as 0.3666… It is a recurring decimal, indicating it will repeat the same digit infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 22 minutes into a decimal, we will use the division method. Since 1 hour equals 60 minutes, we will divide 22 by 60 to convert minutes into a fractional hour. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the total minutes (22) and total minutes in an hour (60).

 

Step 2: Divide 22 by 60. Since 22 is less than 60, the result will be less than 1, showing the fraction of an hour.

 

Step 3: Performing the division, 22 ÷ 60 = 0.3666...

 

Step 4: The division results in a repeating decimal, as the remainder will cycle, producing 0.3666...

 

The answer to 22 minutes as a decimal is 0.3666…
