Common Minutes to Hours Mistakes

Dividing by 100 instead of 60. An hour is 60 minutes, so 90 minutes is 1.5 hours, not 0.9 hours.
Treating 30 minutes as 0.30 hours. 30 ÷ 60 = 0.5, so 30 minutes is 0.50 hours, not 0.30.
Treating 45 minutes as 0.45 hours. 45 ÷ 60 = 0.75, so 45 minutes is 0.75 hours, not 0.45.
Rounding too early. Convert first, then round for display. Rounding mid-step can drift the final total.
Confusing 1.5 hours with 1 hour 5 minutes. 1.5 hours is 1 hour 30 minutes. The decimal part is a fraction of an hour, not the minutes themselves.
