or, 1 minute = 1/60 hour

Therefore, 45 minutes = 45/60 hour = ¾ hour.

2. Convert 25 minutes into hours.

We know, 60 minutes = 1 hour

or, 1 minute = 1/60 hour

Therefore, 25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 5/12 hour.

3. Convert 15 minutes into hours.

We know, 60 minutes = 1 hour

or, 1 minute = 1/60 hour

Therefore, 15 minutes = 15/60 hour = ¼ hour.

Minutes and days are both units used to measure time. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Minutes

The minute is a period of time equal to 1/60 of an hour or 60 seconds.

The minute is an SI accepted unit for time for use with the metric system. Minutes can be abbreviated as min; for example, 1 minute can be written as 1 min.

Days

One day is the time it takes for the Earth to complete a single rotation around its axis in relation to the Sun. There are 24 hours in a day.

The day is an SI accepted unit for time for use with the metric system. Days can be abbreviated as day; for example, 1 day can be written as 1 day.

The time in hours is equal to the time in minutes divided by 60. Since there are 60 minutes in one hour, that's the conversion ratio used in the formula.

For example, here's how to convert 90 minutes to hours using the formula above.

90 min = (90 ÷ 60) = 1.5 hr

How to Convert Minutes to Hours & Minutes

The formula above can be used to find the hours in decimal form, but if you want to get hours and minutes, then follow these steps.

  • Divide the minutes by 60 to get the total hours. Then, use the number to the left of the decimal point as the number of hours.
  • Find the remaining minutes by multiplying the even hours found above by 60. Then, subtract that from the total minutes. This is the remaining minutes.
  • Put the even number of hours and minutes into the form HH:MM.

Minutes

The minute is a period of time equal to 1/60 of an hour or 60 seconds.

The minute is an SI accepted unit for time for use with the metric system. Minutes can be abbreviated as min; for example, 1 minute can be written as 1 min.

Hours

The hour is a period of time equal to 1/24 of a day or 60 minutes.

The hour is an SI accepted unit for time for use with the metric system. Hours can be abbreviated as hr; for example, 1 hour can be written as 1 hr.

Converting minutes to hours is a simple process. To do it, just divide the number of minutes by 60. For instance, let’s say you need to convert 240 minutes into hours. Divide 240 by 60 to get 4 hours. You can also multiply the number of minutes by the fraction 1hr/60min to get the same result. If the number of minutes isn’t exactly divisible by 60, you’ll get a result that contains a fraction of an hour. For instance, 375 minutes divided by 60 gives you 6.25 hours. To convert that fraction of an hour back to minutes, multiply it by 60. In this case, .25 x 60 = 15, which means that 375 minutes is 6 hours and 15 minutes.

Using long division, where total minutes is the dividend and 60 is the divisor, let Q = quotient and R = remainder, then the formula to convert minutes to hours & minutes is

total minutes ÷ 60 = Q hours and R minutes

\( \dfrac{\text{total minutes}}{60} = \text{Q hours and R minutes} \)

Example:

To show an example and how it works mathematically, let's say we want to convert 190 minutes to hours and minutes. We multiply by [1 hr / 60 min] which is 1. The min unit cancels out and our result is in hr units.
