Lesson Thirty-two: Converting Minutes and Hours
Given any number of minutes (over 60) you can convert these minutes into an
expression using hours and minutes. Here's an example.
100 minutes = 1 hour, 40 minutes
To perform this conversion you simply divide 100 by 60. The quotient is the
number of hours and the remainder is the leftover minutes.
Here's another example:
200 minutes = ___ hours, ___ minutes
Dividing 200 by 60 we get 3 with a remainder of 20 and so our answer is:
200 minutes = 3 hours, 20 minutes
Here's another example:
242 minutes = 4 hours, 2 minutes
(242 / 60 = 4 r 2)
