The formula to convert minutes into decimals in hundredths is:
\[ D = \frac{M}{60} \]
Where:
A 100-minute clock is typically referred to when talking about the decimal equivalent of the minutes of an hour. In other words, 1 is 60 minutes in a 100-minute clock.
Example 1:
Step 1: Use 20 minutes in the formula:
\[ \frac{20}{60} = 0.333 \]
Step 2: Add the decimal to the 1 hour:
\[ 1 + 0.333 = 1.333 \]
Example 2:
Step 1: Use 26 minutes in the formula:
\[ \frac{26}{60} = 0.4333 \]
Step 2: Add the decimal to the 4 hours:
\[ 4 + 0.4333 = 4.433 \]
