Units of Time Conversion Chart

Units of time conversion chart are discussed here in hour, minute, second, day,
week, month, and year. 

We know that there are 12 months in a year. The months of January, March,
May, July, August, October and December have 31 days. The months of April,
June, September and November have 30 days. The month of February has 28
or 29 days. In a week there are 7 days. 1 day is equal to 24 hours.

The standard units of time are

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds (60 × 60)

1 day = 24 hours

1 week = 7 days

1 year = 365 days

1 year = 12 months

1year = 52 weeks

These are the units of time conversion table.

We know the following relationships among the units of measure of time.

Conversion            Rule Example

Days into Hour 1 day = 24 hours 7 days = 7 × 24 = 168 hours

Days and hours into First, convert days into hours       7 days 9 hours
hours by multiplying number of days
with 24 and then add hours    = 7 days + 9 hours
into it.
   = (7 × 24) + 9 hours

   = 168 hours + 9 hours

   = 177 hours

Hours into Minutes 1 hour = 60 minutes 5 hours = 5 × 60 = 300 minutes

Hours and minutes     First, convert hours into       7 hours 45 minutes

into minutes minutes by multiplying number
of hours with 60 and then add    = 7 hours + 45 minutes
minutes into it.
    = (7 × 60) + 45 minutes

   = 420 + 45

   = 465 minutes

Minutes into seconds 1 minute = 60 seconds 25 minutes = 60 × 25 = 1500

seconds

Leap year
The earth takes one year to make one revolution around the sun. The actual
time taken is 365 1414 days or 365 days and 6 hours. These six hours
or 1414 day are not counted every year, but it is added every fourth year. So,
we have 366 days every fourth year. The year which has 366 days is called a
leap year. Therefore, in a leap year February has 29 days.

For example:

1. How many minutes are there in a year?

Solution:

We know,

1 year = 365 days.

1 day = 24 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So one year = (365 × 24 × 60) minutes.

= (8760 × 60) minutes.

= 525600 minutes.

2. How many hours are there in a year?

Solution:

We know,

1 year = 365 days.

1 day = 24 hours.

So in one year = (365 × 24)

= 7860 hours.

3. How many minutes in 6 hours?

Solution:
We know,

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So 6 hours = (6 × 60) minutes.

= 360 minutes.

4. Convert 15 minutes 20 seconds into seconds.

Solution:

We know that, 1 minute = 60 seconds

So, 15 minutes = 60 × 15 seconds

                       = 900 seconds

Hence, 15 minutes 20 seconds = 900 seconds + 20 minutes

                                             = 920 seconds.

5. Convert 5 hours 15 minutes into minutes.

Solution:

We know that, 1 hour = 60 minutes

So, 5 hours = 60 × 5 minutes

                  = 300 minutes

Hence, 5 hours 15 minutes = 300 minutes + 15 minutes

                                        = 315 minutes.

6. Convert 20 days 7 hours into hours.

Solution:

We know that, 1 day = 24 hours

So, 20 days = 20 × 24 hours

                  = 480 hours

Hence, 20 days 7 hours = 480 hours + 7 hours

                                   = 487 hours.

7. Convert 6 weeks 3 days into days.

Solution:

We know that, 1 week = 7 days

So, 6 weeks = 6 × 7 days

                   = 42 days
Hence, 6 weeks 3 days = 42 days + 3 days

                                  = 45 days.

8. Convert 7 years 5 months 3 days into days.

Note: To convert number of days to months, we can take 30 days equivalent to

one one.

Solution:

We know that, 1 year = 365 days, 1 month = 30 days

So, 7 years = 365 days × 7 = 2555 days;

and 5 months × 30 = 150 days

Therefore, 7 years 5 months 3 days = 2555 days + 150 days + 3 days

                                                     = 2708 days

To convert smaller units into larger units, we divide by the

required unit of divisor. The quotient gives the larger unit and
remainder shows the smaller unit.

9. Convert 220 minutes to hours and minutes.

Solution:

We know that 60 minutes = 1 hour 

220 minutes = (220/60) hours 

 = 3 hours 40 minutes.

10. Convert 372 minutes into hours and minutes.

Solution:

We know that, 60 minutes = 1 hour

So, 372 minutes = 372 ÷ 60

                              = 6 hours 12 minutes

11. Convert 180 months into years.

Solution:

We know that, 1 year = 12 months

So, 180 months = 180 ÷ 12

               12 | 180 | 15

                     _12  

                         60

                         60  

                          0 

                         = 15 years
