Is my friends math off or is there a step that's missing?
There's a game on Steam I play, American Truck Simulator (ATS). Each in-game hour is 3 real life minutes. So the next delivery I want to do is 26 in-game hours, which is 78 minutes real time. 26 x 3 = 78. Now I asked my friend, how do I figure out what that equates to in hours and minutes. He said take 78, divide by 60. If I do that I get an answer of 1.3.
I said, uh I get 1.3, so how do I know what 1.3 is? Instead I do different math like this: 26 x 3 = 78 minutes. 78min - 60min = 18min. So that tells me the trip time would be 1 hour and 18 minutes, because there are 60 minutes in an hour, the remaining is 18, so 1 hour 18 minutes. How the heck are you supposed to know 1.3 is 1 hour 18 minutes? Is his math off somewhere, is he missing a step, is the way I'm doing it the long way?
Any help and explanations are appreciated. Thanks.
