Divide minutes by 60. For example, 30 minutes divided by 60 is 0.5, so 7 hours 30 minutes is 7.5 decimal hours.
Decimal to minutes
Multiply the decimal portion by 60. For example, 0.75 multiplied by 60 is 45 minutes.
Common conversions
15 minutes is 0.25 hours, 30 minutes is 0.5 hours, and 45 minutes is 0.75 hours.
