Hour (abbreviations: hr, or h): is a unit of time, conventionally counted as 1/24 of a day. In the modern metric system, it is equivalent to 3,600 seconds.
Minute (abbreviations: min, or m): is a unit of time or of angle. As a unit of time, the minute is the first sexagesimal fraction (equivalent to 1/60) of an hour, or 60 seconds.
How to Convert Hours to Minutes
Example: How many minutes are equivalent to 12.44 hours?
As;
1 hours = 60 minutes
12.44 hours = Y minutes
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 12.44 times 60 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 12.44 * 60 / 1 = 746.4 minutes
Answer is: 746.4 minutes are equivalent to 12.44 hours.
