How many minutes are there in #2 3/5# hours?

Answer 1

Roman Alvarez

#3/5# hour means #0.6# hours. Total time in #2 3/5# hrs is #156 # minutes.

You have a total of #2.6# hours because of the fact that #3/5# hour is #0.6# hour.

Therefore, you can calculate this time period in minutes. In one hour there are #60# minutes.

In #2.6# hours, there are #=2.6 xx60= 156# minutes.

In #2 3/5# hours, you have #156# minutes.

#156# minutes

To convert from hours to minutes, just multiply by #60#

In #1# hour, there are #1xx60 =60# minutes In #2# hours there are #2 xx60 = 120# minutes In #3# hours there are #3xx60 = 180# minutes and so on...

In #2 3/5# hours there are:

#2 3/5 xx 60#

#= 13/cancel5 xx cancel60^12#

#= 156# minutes

You can also work with the whole hours and the fraction of an hour separately,

In #2# hours there are #2 xx60 = 120 # minutes

#3/5# of an hour is #3/cancel5 xx cancel60^12 = 3xx12 = 36# minutes

#120+36 = 156#minutes
