<p>This is a straightforward question on converting time to decimals. Firstly, we need to understand how minutes relate to hours. An hour is a whole unit containing 60 minutes. When converting minutes to a decimal form of an hour, we determine what fraction of an hour those minutes represent. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or 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>
