To determine how many hours are in 180 minutes, follow these steps:
1. Understand the relationship between minutes and hours:
There are 60 minutes in one hour. Therefore, to convert minutes to hours, you will need to divide the number of minutes by 60.
2. Convert the given minutes to hours:
- You have 180 minutes.
- Divide 180 by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour):
[tex]\[
\frac{180 \text{ minutes}}{60 \text{ minutes/hour}} = 3 \text{ hours}
\][/tex]
Therefore, 180 minutes is equal to 3 hours.
So, the answer is:
3.0 hours
