Formula & Theory - Minutes to Hours Converter
hours_decimal = minutes / 60
hours_int = floor(minutes / 60)
minutes_rem = minutes mod 60
| Minutes | Decimal hours | Hour + minute |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | 0.5 h | 0 h 30 min |
| 75 | 1.25 h | 1 h 15 min |
| 90 | 1.5 h | 1 h 30 min |
| 150 | 2.5 h | 2 h 30 min |
Common Pitfalls
- 1.5 hours is not 1 hour 50 minutes — it is 1 hour 30 minutes because 0.5 × 60 = 30 min.
- 0.25 hours = 15 minutes, 0.75 hours = 45 minutes.
