Chapter 4

Time

Converting between hours and minutes and working out how long events last — with an interactive exercise.

We convert between hours and minutes and work out durations.

To change hours to minutes, multiply by 60: 2 hours = 2 × 60 = 120 minutes, so 2 hours 15 minutes = 135 minutes. To change minutes to hours, divide by 60.

Remember

  • Hours → minutes: multiply by 60.
  • Minutes → hours: divide by 60.
