70 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on time conversion to decimals. First, we need to understand how to convert minutes into a decimal format based on an hour. An hour is made up of 60 minutes. When converting minutes to a decimal, we express the number of minutes as a fraction of an hour. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are 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.

70 minutes as a decimalAnswer

 

70 minutes as a decimal can be written as 1.1666. It is a recurring decimal, indicating that the digit after the decimal point will repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 70 minutes into a decimal, we use division. Since an hour has 60 minutes, we express 70 as a fraction of 60. This gives us 70/60. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator. Here, 70 is the numerator (the number of minutes), and 60 is the denominator (total minutes in an hour).

 

Step 2: Perform the division of 70 by 60 to convert it into a decimal.

 

Step 3: Divide 70 by 60, which equals 1.1666.

 

Step 4: The whole number part is 1, representing 1 hour, and the fractional part is 0.1666, which is the decimal representation of the extra 10 minutes over an hour.

 

Step 5: The decimal 0.1666 is a recurring decimal, where the digit 6 repeats infinitely.

 

The answer for 70 minutes as a decimal is 1.1666.
