Converting Units Minutes to Hours

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
