About Minute (min)

Common Mistakes
Using decimal hours incorrectly: 1.5 hours = 90 minutes, not 1 hour 50 minutes. The base-60 system catches people off guard.
Educational Tips
The Babylonians gave us base-60 time. That's why we have 60 seconds per minute and 60 minutes per hour — it's not decimal!
