6 minutes as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand the concept of time and its conversion into decimals. Time is often measured in hours, minutes, and seconds. Here, we are focusing on converting minutes into a decimal representation of hours. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is 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 hours, and those to the right represent the fractional part of the hour.

Explanation

 

To convert 6 minutes into a decimal, we need to divide the number of minutes by the number of minutes in an hour (60). Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the number of minutes you want to convert, which is 6 minutes.

 

Step 2: Recognize that there are 60 minutes in one hour.

 

Step 3: Divide the number of minutes by 60 to get the decimal: 6 ÷ 60 = 0.1.

 

Therefore, 6 minutes as a decimal of an hour is 0.1.
