Time Duration Conversion Explained
Converting between minutes and hours is a common task when dealing with time durations. The fundamental relationship is simple:
1 Hour = 60 Minutes
This minutes to hours calculator uses this relationship to perform two main conversions:
- Total Minutes to Hours and Minutes: It divides the total minutes by 60. The whole number part of the result gives the full hours, and the remainder gives the leftover minutes. For example, 135 minutes / 60 = 2 with a remainder of 15, so it's 2 hours and 15 minutes.
- Hours and Minutes to Total Minutes: It multiplies the number of hours by 60 and then adds the number of minutes. For example, 2 hours * 60 + 15 minutes = 120 + 15 = 135 total minutes.
Common Uses:
- Calculating the duration of movies, meetings, or tasks.
- Adding up time logs or timesheets.
- Converting recipe cooking times.
- Simplifying general time calculation.
Use this simple online time tool to quickly convert minutes and make your duration calculations easier.
