I want to calculate the percentage of a minute from a given number of hours.
So let’s say I have 2 hours. That’s 2*60 minutes.
And I want to know how much percent does 1 minute take from 2 hours.
The value should be 0.833, because 0.833 * (2*60) = 100%.
But how do I get this 0.833 number?
(hours * 60) / 100 gets me 1.2 when hours=2, not 0.833
It’s a simple question I know, but I just cannot figure out why my percentage is not right.

Answer
The formula should be 1 minute / total minutes. So for 2 hrs, its 1 min / 120 min = 0.00833 which is 0.833%.
