Hours, minutes, days and months

Time isn't only minutes on a clock — it's also days, weeks, months. Here are the conversions you need.

Hours and minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes.

So:

  • 2 hours = 120 minutes.
  • 1 hour 15 minutes = 60 + 15 = 75 minutes.
  • 90 minutes = 60 + 30 = 1 hour 30 minutes.

Minutes → hours and minutes

How many full hours fit in the minutes? The rest stays in minutes.

80 minutes = 1 × 60 + 20 → 1 h 20 min.

150 minutes = 2 × 60 + 30 → 2 h 30 min.

Hours and minutes → minutes

Multiply the hours by 60 and add the leftover minutes.

3 h 25 min = 3 × 60 + 25 = 180 + 25 = 205 min.

Days of the week

The 7 days in order:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

After Sunday it loops back to Monday.

Today is Wednesday. In 3 days it'll be Saturday.

In 7 days it'll be Wednesday again (because 7 days = 1 full week).

Months of the year

The 12 months in order:

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

After December comes January (next year).

  • January, February — winter starts.
  • March, April, May — spring.
  • June, July, August — summer.
  • September, October, November — autumn.
