Understanding Hours

- Hours are units of time used to measure the duration of an event or activity.

- It is a part of the 24-hour day, which is divided into two 12-hour periods: AM (ante meridiem) and PM (post meridiem).

Understanding Hours

• There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.
• We use a clock to measure hours, where the hour hand makes one full revolution every 12 hours.
• Hours are often represented using the "h" symbol. For example, 2 hours can be written as 2h.

Converting Hours

• Converting hours to minutes: 1 hour = 60 minutes. Example: 2 hours = 2 * 60 = 120 minutes.
• Converting minutes to hours: 1 minute = 1/60 hour. Example: 90 minutes = 90 * (1/60) = 1.5 hours.
