To find out how many minutes are in 4 and a half hours, you first need to understand how many minutes are in one hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour.
Now, if you have 4 hours, you simply multiply:
- 4 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 240 minutes
Next, to calculate the minutes in half an hour, we do the following:
- 0.5 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 30 minutes
Finally, to find the total number of minutes in 4 and a half hours, you add the minutes from the full hours and the half hour together:
- 240 minutes + 30 minutes = 270 minutes
So, there are 270 minutes in 4 and a half hours.
