20 hours 54 minutes divide 6?

1 hour = 60 minutes
20 hours = (20 x 60) = 1,200 minutes

20 hours + 54 minutes = 1,254 minutes

1,254/6 = 209 minutes = [ 3hours 29minutes ]

How many minutes in 3 days and 5 hours?

well there are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day...so 24 x 60 = 1440 minutes in a day. 1440 x 3 = 4320. so then 60 x 5 = 300. so 4320+300= 4620. The answer would be 4, 620 minutesin 3 days and 5 hours. Hoped this helped. (:

Who uses clocks?

Yes, they are very important. A clock is an instrument used to indicate, keep, and co-ordinate time. The word clock is derived ultimately (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell". A silent instrument missing such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece. In general usage today a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time. Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks.

The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day, the lunar month, and the year. Devices operating on several different physical processes have been used over the millennia, culminating in the clocks of today.

The study of timekeeping is known as horology.

When did a clock's minute hand become practical?

Can you convert gigabytes to hours or minutes from a High Definition 5.1 audio movie?

Movies come in different qualities; the amount of kilobytes or megabytes per minute can vary widely. I suggest you get a sample of a movie in the desired quality, and divide the file size by the number of minutes, to get an idea. For your calculations, note that 1 Gigabyte = 1024 Megabytes - which you can round to 1000 for most practical purposes.
