<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about time and decimals. Time is often measured in hours, minutes, and seconds. Here, we focus on converting minutes to a decimal of an hour. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>
