Method 1):
__________________________________________________________
Note: 60 minutes = 1 hour (exactly);

30 minutes = ? hr ? ;

→ (30 minutes) * (1 hr/ 60 minutes) ;

= (30/60) hr = (3/6) hr = (3÷3)/(6÷3) hr ;

= "
`(1)/(2)` hr " ;

or; write as: " 0.5 hr " .

So "4 hours & 30 minutes" = 4 hours + 0.5 hours = 4.5 hours.

→ 4.5 hours = ? minutes ;

The answer is: " 270 minutes" . 4.5 hours *
`(60 min)/(1 hr)` ;

= (4.5 * 60) minutes = " 270 minutes " .

→ The answer is: " 270 minutes ".
