Convert 1 Hour and 15 Minutes to a Decimal

To write 1 hour and 15 minutes as a decimal, we can separate the 1 hour and 15 minutes and convert the minutes to a decimal. Here's how you can do it:

First, we start with 1 hour, which we can represent as 1.

Next, we want to convert the 15 minutes into a decimal. To do that, we divide the number of minutes by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour).

So, we take 15 and divide it by 60. When we do this division, we get 0.25. You could also simplify 15/60 to 1/4. It is easier to convert 1/4 to 0.25.

Now, we add the decimal value we found (0.25) to the 1 hour we started with.

1 (hour) + 0.25 (decimal value of 15 minutes) = 1.25

Therefore, 1 hour and 15 minutes is equal to 1.25 in decimal form.
