When to use hours → minutes
Hours to minutes multiplies by 60. A 2.5-hour flight is 150 minutes; an 8-hour workday is 480 minutes. Use this conversion whenever you have a fractional-hour input (parking meters, time-tracking exports, hourly cost ledgers) and need a whole-minute output for a stopwatch or rate calculation. Beware decimal-minute confusion: 1.30 hours means 1 hour 18 minutes, not 1 hour 30 minutes — the decimal portion is a fraction of an hour, not minutes.
Nursing shift schedules are written in hours but medication timing runs in minutes: a 12 h shift is 720 min, and a 7.5 h shift (common in the UK) is 450 min. Charting software converts the shift length to minutes internally to calculate exact dosage-interval windows across a handover, since a drug due "every 4 hours" needs to be checked against elapsed minutes, not a rounded hour count.

About the hour and the minute
The hour
The hour (h) equals exactly 3,600 seconds, or 60 minutes. It is the standard unit for daily scheduling, employment, and short-distance travel time. Like the minute, it is accepted for use with the SI but is not strictly part of the SI system.
The minute
The minute (min) equals exactly 60 seconds. The sexagesimal division of the hour into 60 minutes (and the minute into 60 seconds) descends from ancient Babylonian astronomy. The minute is accepted for use with the SI even though it is not formally part of it.
