Conversion from Minutes to Hours

Converting from minutes to hours involves dividing the number of minutes by 60, as there are 60 minutes in an hour. For example, if you have 120 minutes and you want to convert it to hours, you would divide 120 by 60 to get 2 hours. This conversion factor is useful in various real-life scenarios. For instance, when planning a meeting or event, knowing how many hours an activity takes can help in scheduling and time management. Additionally, in cooking, recipes often provide cooking times in hours and minutes, so converting between the two units is essential for accurate preparation.
