Answer 1

To convert 1 hour and 6 minutes to decimal hours, you divide the minutes (6) by 60 to get 0.1 hours and then add that to the whole hour, resulting in 1.10 decimal hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to convert 1 hour and 6 minutes to decimal hours. To do this, we need to convert the minutes into a fraction of an hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide 6 by 60, which gives us 0.1. Therefore, 6 minutes is equal to 0.1 hours. When we add this to 1 hour, we get 1.1 hours. So the correct decimal representation of 1 hour and 6 minutes is 1.10 hours, which corresponds to option B.

Steps to convert time:

1. Divide the number of minutes by 60 to convert it into hours.
2. Add this value to the number of whole hours.
