Answer 1

To convert 1 hour 36 minutes to decimal hours, divide the 36 minutes by 60 to get 0.6 hours, then add this to 1 hour for a total of 1.6 hours (Answer A).

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 1 hour 36 minutes to decimal hours, you need to express the minutes as a fraction of an hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you divide the number of minutes by 60 to convert it to hours. Therefore, 36 minutes divided by 60 minutes per hour equals 0.6 hours.

Adding this to the 1 hour already given, we get a total decimal hour value of 1.6 hours.

Here's the calculation broken down:

• 36 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.6 hours
• 1 hour + 0.6 hours = 1.6 hours

Therefore, the answer is A) 1.6.
