We are asked to convert 11.77 hours into hours and minutes. The first step is to divide the whole number from its decimal part, that is:


11.77\text{ hours=11 hours+ 0.77 hours}

Now we convert the decimal hours into minutes. To do that we use the conversion factor 1h = 60 minutes. We get:


0.77\text{hour}(60\min)/(1hour)=46.2\min

Therefore, 11.77 hours is approximately 11 hours and 46 minutes.
