Converting to Decimals
Time is used in calculations for fuel consumption and passage planning.
Time must be converted from hours and minutes to decimal hours to use in a calculation.
For example, one hour and thirty minutes = 1.5 hours
1 hour and 30 minutes
=
1.5 hours
The hours stay the same. Only the minutes change.
3 hours and 30 minutes
=
3.5 hours
2 hours and 15 minutes
=
2.25 hours
