Conversion formula

The conversion factor from hours to minutes is 60, which means that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes:

1 hr = 60 min

To convert 0.2 hours into minutes we have to multiply 0.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the time amount from hours to minutes. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 hr → 60 min

0.2 hr → T_(min)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in minutes:

T_(min) = 0.2 hr × 60 min

T_(min) = 12 min

The final result is:

0.2 hr → 12 min

We conclude that 0.2 hours is equivalent to 12 minutes:

0.2 hours = 12 minutes

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 minute is equal to 0.083333333333333 × 0.2 hours.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that zero point two hours is approximately twelve minutes:

0.2 hr ≅ 12 min

An alternative is also that one minute is approximately zero point zero eight three times zero point two hours.
