Values based on NIST SP 811 conversion factors

🌍 Real-World Examples

A typical football (soccer) match

90 min = 1.5 h

A standard gym workout session

45 min = 0.75 h

A typical feature film

120 min = 2 h

A commute by subway in a big city

30 min = 0.5 h

Average marathon finishing time

240 min = 4 h

Why Convert Minutes to Hours?

Converting between minutes (min) and hours (h) is one of the most common time conversions. Whether for engineering, cooking, travel, or science, knowing how to quickly convert min to h saves time and prevents errors.

Time conversions between min and h are fundamental in project management, cooking, fitness, and daily scheduling. Project managers convert between hours, days, and weeks when planning sprints and estimating delivery timelines. Cooking recipes specify times in minutes or hours depending on the technique. In fitness, interval training requires precise conversions between minutes, seconds, and sometimes hours for endurance events like marathons.

How to Convert Minutes to Hours

To convert minutes to hours, use the following formula:

h = min × 0.01666666667

Example: 1 min = 0.01666666667 h

For example, 5 min = 0.08333333333 h, 10 min = 0.1666666667 h, and 100 min = 1.666666667 h. Our calculator above performs this conversion instantly with full precision — no rounding errors.

Common Use Cases

  • A typical football (soccer) match: 90 min = 1.5 h
  • A standard gym workout session: 45 min = 0.75 h
  • A typical feature film: 120 min = 2 h
  • A commute by subway in a big city: 30 min = 0.5 h
  • Average marathon finishing time: 240 min = 4 h

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Month/year ambiguity: "1 month" varies from 28 to 31 days. For precise calculations, always specify the exact number of days.
  • Leap year errors: Don't assume 1 year = 365 days. For multi-year calculations, account for leap years (avg = 365.2425 days).
  • Time zone confusion: When scheduling across time zones, always specify UTC offset. "3 PM" means different things in different countries.

Pro Tips

  • Memorize the factor: 1 min = 0.01666666667 h. For quick mental math, remember this base conversion.
  • Quick reference: 5 min = 0.08333333333 h · 10 min = 0.1666666667 h · 25 min = 0.4166666667 h · 50 min = 0.8333333333 h · 100 min = 1.666666667 h
