At first, to convert 720 minutes to hours and minutes, we have to convert 720 minutes into hours.
To change 720 minutes into its equivalent number of hours and leftover minutes, we first need to calculate the total hours component of the 720 minutes by performing division by the constant 60 minutes per hour.
720 minutes / 60 minutes
⇒ 720 minutes x 1/60 hours = 12 hours [as 1 minute = 1/60 hours]
The number of hours will be 12.
Now we have to find out the remaining minutes. To acheive this we can simply take the decimal part 12 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
720 minutes = 12 hours and 0 minute
Therefore the final result for the query 720 minutes in hours and minutes is equivalent to 12 hours and 0 minute.
