How to Calculate Hours in Tenths

Calculating hours in tenths is often done in business when creating a bill or paycheck for services that are paid at a flat fee per hour. Using tenths of an hour ensures that the worker is paid fairly for the time put into the job. The calculation is a simple one, based on the fact that there are 60 minutes in an hour.

Instructions

    • 1

      Calculate hours in tenths using the knowledge that there are 60 minutes in an hour so one tenth of an hour would be 60 / 10 = 6 minutes.

    • 2

      Divide the number of minutes by 6. For instance, 24 minutes divided by 6 equals 4, which you convert to tenths by moving the decimal one place to the left. So 24 minutes is 0.4 of an hour.

    • 3

      Another method is to simply divide the minutes by 60. For instance, 17 minutes divided by 60 equals 0.2833, which you would round to 0.3 of an hour.
