At first, to convert 160 minutes to hours and minutes, we have to convert 160 minutes into hours.
To change 160 minutes into its equivalent number of hours and leftover minutes, we first need to calculate the total hours component of the 160 minutes by performing division by the constant 60 minutes per hour.
160 minutes / 60 minutes
⇒ 160 minutes x 1/60 hours = 2.6666666666667 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 0.6666666666667 and convert it into minutes. In this case we need to convert 0.6666666666667 hours in minutes to calculate the remaining minutes. For this we need to muitiply 0.6666666666667 hours by 60 minutes.
0.6666666666667 hours X 60 minutes = 40 minutes
Hence, combining the values of hours and minutes calculated above, we can conclude that
160 minutes = 2 hours and 40 minutes
Therefore the final result for the query 160 minutes in hours and minutes is equivalent to 2 hours and 40 minutes.
