Example 1: Convert Minutes to Hours in Google Sheets

To convert hours to minutes in Google Sheets, we simply need to divide the minutes by 60.

We can then drag and fill this formula down to each remaining cell in column C:

Column C now displays the minutes in column B in terms of hours.

For example:

• 30 minutes is equal to 0.5 hours.
• 35 minutes is equal to 0.5833 hours.
• 71 minutes is equal to 1.1833 hours.
