46 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting time to decimal is a straightforward process. First, we need to understand how time is typically divided. Time is often measured in hours, minutes, and seconds. To convert minutes into a decimal, we divide the number of minutes by the total number of minutes in an hour, which is 60. This conversion is useful in various calculations, particularly in time management and payroll systems.
