How to Convert Minute to Hour
- 1 min = 0.01666666667 h
- 1 h = 60 min
- Example: convert 15 min to h: 15 min = 15 × 0.01666666667 h = 0.25 h
Formula
h = min ÷ 60
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 min = 60 s
- 1 h = 60 min = 3600 s
- 1 min = 60 s ÷ 3600 s per h = 0.01666666666667 h
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Minute definition: minute; Hour definition: hour.
Worked examples
- A 90 min meeting lasts 1.5 h.
90 min × 0.01666666667 = 1.5 h - A 150 min cure cycle is 2.5 h.
150 min × 0.01666666667 = 2.5 h
