Worked examples

- 8 hours = 480 min (8 × 60)
Where this conversion comes up
Hours are used for work schedules, payroll, flights and battery life; minutes for cooking, workouts, meetings and travel times. Decimal hours from timesheets and apps hide the minutes: 1.75 h is 1 h 45 min (105 min), not 1 h 75 min. Multiply the whole number by 60 to get minutes.
Quick estimate
Multiply by 60; 0.1 h = 6 min, 0.25 h = 15 min.
Common mistakes
- Dividing instead of multiplying. A minute is smaller than a hour, so the number of minutes must come out larger: 1.5 hours = 90 min.
- Reading the remainder as a decimal. 1 h 30 min is 1.5 h, not 1.3 h: divide the leftover minutes by 60 (or seconds by 60) to get the decimal part.
