Answer 1

To convert 1 hour and 18 minutes to decimal hours, divide the 18 minutes by 60 to get 0.30, then add this to the hour portion to get 1.30 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 1 hour and 18 minutes to decimal hours, you divide the number of minutes by 60 because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. So for 18 minutes:

18 ÷ 60 = 0.30

Now, add the result to the hour portion:

1 hour + 0.30 hours = 1.30 hours

The correct option is C) 1.30 hours.
