At first, to convert 420 minutes to hours and minutes, we have to convert 420 minutes into hours.
To change 420 minutes into its equivalent number of hours and leftover minutes, we first need to calculate the total hours component of the 420 minutes by performing division by the constant 60 minutes per hour.
420 minutes / 60 minutes
⇒ 420 minutes x 1/60 hours = 7 hours [as 1 minute = 1/60 hours]
The number of hours will be 7.
Now we have to find out the remaining minutes. To acheive this we can simply take the decimal part 7 and convert it into minutes. In this case there is no decimal parts and hence the decimal part will be equal to 0. Now to calculate the remaining minutes we need to muitiply 0 by 60 minutes.
0 hours X 60 minutes = 0 minute
Hence, combining the values of hours and minutes calculated above, we can conclude that
420 minutes = 7 hours and 0 minute
Therefore the final result for the query 420 minutes in hours and minutes is equivalent to 7 hours and 0 minute.
