24/60 minutes = 0.4 of an hour

You're welcome.
To convert 2.4 to 2 hours and 24 minutes, you need to separate the whole number part (in this case, 2) as the hours and convert the decimal part (0.4) to minutes. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start with the decimal part, which is 0.4 representing the minutes.
2. Divide the decimal by 0.6 since there are 60 minutes in an hour (0.4 / 0.6 = 0.6667).
3. Multiply the result by 60 to convert it into minutes (0.6667 x 60 = 40).
4. Therefore, the decimal part 0.4 is equivalent to 40 minutes.
Now, add the whole number part (2) as the hours and the converted decimal part (40 minutes) together.
Hence, 2.4 is equivalent to 2 hours and 24 minutes.
