Hour

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

Conversion

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

Number of minutes = Number of hours × 60

For example, to convert 2 hours to minutes:

2 hours × 60 = 120 minutes

Notation

Hours are often represented using the symbol "h". For example, 3 hours can be written as 3h.

Examples

1. How many minutes are there in 4 hours?

Number of minutes = 4 hours × 60 = 240 minutes

2. If a movie is 2 hours and 30 minutes long, how many minutes is that in total?

Total minutes = 2 hours × 60 + 30 minutes = 120 minutes + 30 minutes = 150 minutes
