75 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand the relationship between minutes and hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour. To convert minutes to a fraction of an hour, we use the fraction 75/60, where the numerator (75) represents the number of minutes, and the denominator (60) represents the total minutes in an hour. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or 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.
