Advance Topics

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about time conversion and decimals. Time can be expressed in different units, such as hours and minutes. To convert minutes to a decimal representing hours, we divide the number of minutes by the number of minutes in an hour. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is 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.
