## Converting Units Minutes to Hours
|
|
|
|
A minute is defined as one sixtieth of an hour. Conversion between minutes and hours is thus given by
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>t<sub>h</sub> = t<sub>min</sub> / 60
|
|
|
|
t<sub>min</sub> = t<sub>h</sub> * 60
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
where t<sub>min</sub> is the time in minutes and t<sub>h</sub> 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](https://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/si_brochure_8_en.pdf)).
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
```
