332 minutes is approximately $5 \text{ hours and } 32 \text{ minutes}$.
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the operation needed To convert minutes to hours, we need to divide the number of minutes by the number of minutes in an hour, which is 60.
-
Perform the division Now, divide the total minutes by 60 to find the equivalent in hours:
$$ \text{Hours} = \frac{332 \text{ minutes}}{60} $$
- Calculate the result Perform the calculation:
$$ \text{Hours} = \frac{332}{60} \approx 5.53 $$
This shows that 332 minutes equals approximately 5.53 hours.
- Separate hours and minutes (if necessary) To express the result more clearly, we can separate the decimal into whole hours and remaining minutes:
- 5 hours remain, and multiply 0.53 by 60 to find the additional minutes:
$$ 0.53 \times 60 \approx 31.8 \text{ (which we round to 32 minutes)} $$
So, 332 minutes can be expressed as 5 hours and 32 minutes.
332 minutes is approximately $5 \text{ hours and } 32 \text{ minutes}$.
