Hours

What is an Hour?

An hour is a unit of time that is equal to 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds. It is commonly used to measure the duration of time or the time of day.

Converting Hours

To convert hours to minutes, you can use the following formula:

Hours * 60 = Minutes

For example, if you want to convert 2 hours to minutes:

2 hours * 60 = 120 minutes

Adding and Subtracting Hours

When adding or subtracting hours, it is important to keep track of the total hours and carry over any extra hours if necessary.

For example, if you want to calculate 3 hours + 4 hours:

3 hours + 4 hours = 7 hours

Using the 24-Hour Clock

The 24-hour clock is a way of telling time where the day is divided into 24 hours, from midnight (00:00) to the following midnight. It is commonly used in military, aviation, and international contexts.

For example, 6:00 PM in the 12-hour clock is equivalent to 18:00 in the 24-hour clock.
