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.
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.
How to Convert Minutes to Hours
Example: How many hours are equivalent to 47.91 minutes?
As;
1 minutes = 0.016666666666667 hours
47.91 minutes = Y hours
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 47.91 times 0.016666666666667 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 47.91 * 0.016666666666667 / 1 = 0.7985 hours
Answer is: 0.7985 hours are equivalent to 47.91 minutes.
