Convert hour to minute

Learn how to convert 1 hour to minute step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h o u r) = x (m i n u t e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(s e c o n d)

Left side: 1.0 (h o u r) = 3.6 \times 10^{3} (s e c o n d) = 3.6 \times 10^{3} (s)

Right side: 1.0 (m i n u t e) = 60.0 (s e c o n d) = 60.0 (s)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h o u r) = x (m i n u t e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times (s e c o n d) = x \times 60.0 \times (s e c o n d)

Or

1.0 \cdot 3.6 \times 10^{3} \cdot (s) = x \cdot 60.0 \cdot (s)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 3.6 \times 10^{3} \cdot (s) = x \times 60.0 \times (s)

Conversion Equation

3.6 \times 10^{3} = x \times 60.0

Switch sides

x \times 60.0 = 3.6 \times 10^{3}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{60.0})

x \times 60.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} = 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Cancel

x \times 60.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} = 3.6 \times 10^{3} \times \frac{1.0}{60.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{3.6 \times 10^{3}}{60.0}

Solve

x

x = 60

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h o u r) = 60 (m i n u t e)
