How It Works
Formula
hours = minutes / 60One hour contains 60 minutes, so dividing the number of minutes by 60 gives the time in hours. To get the hours-and-minutes reading, take the whole number of hours first, then the remaining minutes are the minutes that do not fill a full hour. For example, 90 minutes divided by 60 is 1.5 hours, which reads as 1 h 30 min.

Common mistakes
- Dividing by 100 instead of 60. An hour has 60 minutes, not 100, so 90 minutes is 1.5 hours and not 0.9 hours.
- Confusing decimal hours with an hours-and-minutes reading. 1.5 hours means 1 h 30 min, so the 0.5 stands for 30 minutes and not 50 minutes.
- Rounding too early. Round only the final answer, because rounding the minutes before you divide can shift the result by a noticeable amount.
