57 minutes as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on decimal conversion. To convert minutes to a decimal, we must understand the relationship between minutes and hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour. To express a number of minutes as a fraction of an hour, you divide by 60. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is 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.
