Question

1. a light aircraft flight from sunderland to london takes 1 hour and 30 minutes. write this time in hours as a decimal.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert minutes to hours

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes, so to convert 30 minutes to hours, we divide 30 by 60. So, $30\div60 = 0.5$ hours.

Step2: Add to the whole hours

The flight time has 1 whole hour and 30 minutes (which we converted to 0.5 hours). So we add 1 and 0.5. That is $1 + 0.5 = 1.5$ hours.

Answer:

1.5
