How to Convert Decimal Hours to Hours and Minutes
This conversion separates the whole number (hours) from the fractional part (minutes).
- Extract Hours: The whole number part of the decimal is the number of full hours.
- Calculate Minutes: Multiply the fractional part of the decimal by 60. This gives you the equivalent number of minutes.
Example Calculation
Given your input of 2.75 hours:
- The whole number is 2, which gives us the hours.
- We take the fractional part (
2.75 - 2 = 0.7500) and multiply by 60. 0.7500 * 60 = 45. This is the minutes part.- Result: 2 hours and 45 minutes.
