500 minutes in hours

Answer 1

We all know that there are 60 min in 1 hour.

How to find hours and minutes when the number of MINUTES IS KNOWN:

- Divide the number of minutes by 60.

- The quotient is the number of hours.

- The remainder is the number of minutes greater than those in full hours.

500 min/ 60 min = 8.333333333333334 Hours

Use: 1 Minute = 0.0166666666666667 Hours

500 min X 0.0166666666666667 Hours= 8.333333333333334 Hours

You get the SAME answer both ways.

Now that you have 8.333333333333334 Hours, I am sure that you don't want it in this form.

All you have to do is the following:

0.33333333333333 = 1/3

1/3 hour X 60 min = 20 min.

(you do that because the answer is 8.33333 hours and you want to convert .333 or 1/3 to minutes from hours and since there are 60 min in 1 hour you multiply 1/3 hours by 60 minutes to get your answer).
