At first, to convert 150 minutes to hours and minutes, we have to convert 150 minutes into hours.
To change 150 minutes into its equivalent number of hours and leftover minutes, we first need to calculate the total hours component of the 150 minutes by performing division by the constant 60 minutes per hour.
150 minutes / 60 minutes
⇒ 150 minutes x 1/60 hours = 2.5 hours [as 1 minute = 1/60 hours]
Now from the above number we come to know that the whole number part which is in the left side of the decimal point is the number of hours which is 2.
Therefore the number of hours = 2
Now we have to find out the remaining minutes. To acheive this we can simply take the decimal part 0.5 and convert it into minutes. In this case we need to convert 0.5 hours in minutes to calculate the remaining minutes. For this we need to muitiply 0.5 hours by 60 minutes.
0.5 hours X 60 minutes = 30 minutes
Hence, combining the values of hours and minutes calculated above, we can conclude that
150 minutes = 2 hours and 30 minutes
Therefore the final result for the query 150 minutes in hours and minutes is equivalent to 2 hours and 30 minutes.
