Enter the total number of minutes into the calculator to convert into a 100-minute decimal clock.

100 Minute Clock Formula

The following formula is used to convert minutes into decimals in hundredths. 

D = M / 60
  • Where D is the decimal value in hundredths
  • M is the number of minutes

In the case of this formula, if the number of minutes is, say, 1 hour and 20 minutes, use 20 minutes in the formula and then add the decimal to the 1 hour.

For example, in that case, 20/60 = .333, so then add 1 + .333 = 1.333.

What is a 100 minute clock?

A 100-minute clock is typically referred to when talking about the decimal equivalent of the minutes of an hour. In other words, 1 is 60 minutes in a 100-minute clock.

Example Problem

how to calculate a 100-minute clock?

First, determine the total number of hours and minutes.

For this example, the time that has passed is 4 hours and 26 minutes.

Next, split the hours and minutes apart.

Next, divide the minutes by 60 to get a decimal value.

26 / 60 = .4333

Finally, add the 4 hours to the decimal to reach the final answer:

= 4 + .4333 = 4.433
