Okay, I am having such a hard time dividing an hour into decimals!
1 hour/60 min = 1.00, ok?
½ hour/30 min = 0.50
¼ hour/15 min = 0.25
I know that, but what would 50 min, 40 min, 20 min, 5 min equal?
Can anyone post a link to a chart that displays 1 hour in all possible increments? Thanks!

50 min / 1 hour = 50 min / 60 min = 5/6 = 0.8333 (3 repeats)
40 min / 1 hour = 40 min / 60 min = 2/3 = 0.6666 (6 repeats)
20 min / 1 hour = 20 min / 60 min = 1/3 = 0.3333 (3 repeats)
5 min / 1 hour = 5 min / 60 min = 1/12 = 0.8333 (3 repeats)
In general, just take the number of minutes, divide by 60, simplify the fraction, and convert to a decimal. Sorry, I don't know of such a chart.

well.....1 hour is 60 minutes.....1/2 hour is 30 minutes.......and 1/4 hour is 15 minutes as you stated in your question right?
Well, look at the MINUTES part of that and then look at the following.
For a half hour (1/2 hour) this is 30 minutes out of 60 minutes.
30/60 = 3/6 = 1/2 ------ hence the half hour.
For 15 minutes you have:
15 minutes out of a total of 60 minutes (a full hour)......
...15/60 = 1/4 ----- hence a quarter hour, or 15 minutes.
Therefore for 50 minutes you have:
50/60 = 5/6 = 0.8333 hours
And any odd number of minutes goes the same way:
37 minutes is:
37/60 = 0.6167 hours.
Does this make sense to you? This is all there is to it.
Hope this helps you.
:)

It's really simple. Just take each time you want in decimal form and divide it by 60. That is:
50/60 = .833333333333333 or 5/6
40/60 = .666666666666666 or 2/3
20/60 = .333333333333333 or 1/3
5/60 = .0833333333333333 or 1/12
You can make your own chart in Microsoft Excel if you know how to work with the formulas.

50 min=5/6
40min=4/6=>2/3
20min=20/60=>1/3
5min=5/60=>1/12

1 min = 1/60 hour = 0.016666...
2 min = 1/30 hour = 0.033333...
3 min = 1/20 hour = 0.05
4 min = 1/15 hour = 0.066666...
5 min = 1/12 hour = 0.083333...
10 min = 1/6 hour = 0.166666...
15 min = 1/4 hour = 0.25
20 min = 1/3 hour = 0.333333...
25 min = 5/12 hour = 0.416666...
30 min = 1/2 hour = 0.5
35 min = 7/12 hour = 0.583333...
40 min = 2/3 hour = 0.666666...
45 min = 3/4 hour = 0.75
50 min = 5/6 hour = 0.833333...
55 min = 11/12 hour = 0.816666...
60 min = 1 hour = 1
Hope that helps :)

That's easy!
For 50 mins. you divide 50/60 = 0.8333.....
For 40 mins 40/60 = 0.666666.....
For 20 mins 20/60 = 0.33333.....
For 5 mins = 0.08333......
The results are all periodical decimals. If you round the up you'll get:
50/60=0.83, 40/60 = 0.67, 20/60 = 0.33, 5/60 = 0.08

50 min = 5/6ths = .83ish = 83ish% of an hour
40 min = 2/3rds = .67 = 67% of an hour
20 min = 1/3rd = .33 = 33% of an hour
5 min = 1/30th = .0333 = 3% of an hour

1 hour/60 min = 1.00, ok? YES
½ hour/30 min = 0.50 NO it is 1.0
¼ hour/15 min = 0.25 nNO nom nononono it is 1.0
Why do you think that ½ hour/30 min = 0.5 ?????
½ hour is the same amount as 30 min
