60 minutes = 1 Hour
⇒1 minute = 1/60 hours
⇒40 minutes = 1/60 hours X 40
⇒ 40 minutes = (40 / 60 ) hours
⇒ 40 x 1/60 hours = 0.66666666666667 hours [as 1 hour = 60 minutes]
Therefore the number of hours = 0.66666666666667
Hence, after converting 40 in hours as calculated above, we can conclude that
