33 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on converting minutes to a decimal. To understand this, we need to know the relationship between minutes and hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour. To convert minutes to a decimal of an hour, you divide the number of minutes by 60. This shows us how much of an hour is represented by those minutes. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are 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.
