Converting Units Minutes to Hours
A minute is defined as one sixtieth of an hour. Conversion between minutes and hours is thus given by
th = tmin / 60
tmin = th * 60
where tmin is the time in minutes and th is the time in hours.
The symbols for time in minutes and hours are min and h respectively (The International System of Units, 8th edition, Chapter 4: Units outside the SI).
Examples
Converting from time in minutes to time in hours:
90 minutes = (90 / 60) hours = 1.5 hours
Converting from time in hours to time in minutes:
24 hours = (24 * 60) minutes = 1440 minutes
