Let’s solve each problem step by step. Remember:
→ There are
60 minutes in 1 hour.
→ To convert minutes to hours and minutes, divide the total minutes by 60.
→ The
whole number part is the hours.
→ The
remainder (what’s left after subtracting 60 × hours) is the minutes.

Problem 1: What is 250 minutes in hours and minutes?
Step 1: How many whole 60s go into 250?
Try 4 × 60 = 240 → that’s less than 250.
Try 5 × 60 = 300 → too big! So it’s 4 hours.
Step 2: Subtract 240 from 250 → 250 - 240 = 10 minutes.
✔ Answer:
4 hours 10 minutes

Problem 2: What is 170 minutes in hours and minutes?
Step 1: How many whole 60s go into 170?
2 × 60 = 120
3 × 60 = 180 → too big! So it’s 2 hours.
Step 2: 170 - 120 = 50 minutes.
✔ Answer:
2 hours 50 minutes

Problem 3: What is 376 minutes in hours and minutes?
Step 1: How many whole 60s go into 376?
6 × 60 = 360
7 × 60 = 420 → too big! So it’s 6 hours.
Step 2: 376 - 360 = 16 minutes.
✔ Answer:
6 hours 16 minutes

Problem 4: What is 455 minutes in hours and minutes?
Step 1: How many whole 60s go into 455?
7 × 60 = 420
8 × 60 = 480 → too big! So it’s 7 hours.
Step 2: 455 - 420 = 35 minutes.
✔ Answer:
7 hours 35 minutes

Problem 5: What is 867 minutes in hours and minutes?
Step 1: How many whole 60s go into 867?
Let’s try 14 × 60 = 840
15 × 60 = 900 → too big! So it’s 14 hours.
Step 2: 867 - 840 = 27 minutes.
✔ Answer:
