We are asked to convert 11.77 hours into hours and minutes. The first step is to divide the whole number from its decimal part, that is:
[tex]11.77\text{ hours=11 hours+ 0.77 hours}[/tex]Now we convert the decimal hours into minutes. To do that we use the conversion factor 1h = 60 minutes. We get:
[tex]0.77\text{hour}\frac{60\min}{1hour}=46.2\min [/tex]Therefore, 11.77 hours is approximately 11 hours and 46 minutes.
