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.

Summary
- 60 min = 1 h, 24 h = 1 day, 7 days = 1 week, 12 months = 1 year.
