pro tips
Quick mental math: divide by 60. 150 minutes becomes 2.5 hours, close enough for any deadline.
90 min = 1.5 h — the meeting conversion that keeps the calendar honest.
30 minutes is half an hour: the workout class, the nap, and the bus schedule, all in one.
what it does
The minutes-to-hours trick runs backwards: divide by 60. It's how you translate the meeting calendar, the workout class and the parking receipt into something that fits on a schedule without a calculator.
You meet it everywhere minutes outnumber hours: a 90-minute meeting (that is 1.5 hours, and the calendar knew all along), a 45-minute workout class, a recipe that says 40 minutes and needs converting so dinner isn't a hostage situation, or a movie "one hour 55" that someone keeps calling "almost two hours".
The handy fractions: 15 minutes is a quarter hour, 30 is a half, 45 is three quarters, and 60 is the hour everyone forgets to convert because it's finally a whole number. Everything else is division by 60 and a little dignity.
Type any minute number and the widget answers in hours on the spot, with the math in the hint. Click the result to copy it, and hit swap when the conversation turns the other way — the hours-to-minutes version is waiting for it.
