44 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. To understand this, we need to know about time and decimals. Time is often measured in hours, minutes, and seconds. In this case, we want to convert minutes into a decimal representation of an hour. 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.

What is 44 minutes as a decimal?

44 minutes as a decimal

 

Answer

 

44 minutes can be represented as 0.73333... hours. It is a recurring decimal, indicating that the digit after the decimal point will repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 44 minutes into a decimal, we use division. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 44 by 60. This process will yield the decimal form of 44 minutes in terms of hours. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:

 

Step 1: Identify the total minutes to convert, which is 44, and the total minutes in an hour, which is 60.

 

Step 2: Divide 44 by 60 to start the conversion. 44 is smaller than 60, so we will use decimal conversion.

 

Step 3: Write 44 divided by 60 in decimal form, which gives 0.7333...

 

Step 4: Since 44 is not a multiple of 60, the division will not end, resulting in a recurring decimal.

 

Step 5: The division process continues, showing the repetition of the digit 3 after the decimal point indefinitely.

 

Therefore, 44 minutes as a decimal is 0.7333...
