<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about time and decimals. Time can be represented in various formats, such as hours and minutes. In this context, we are dealing with minutes. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>
