Solve Time Conversion: Convert 3hr to Minutes (hr to min)

To solve this problem, we will convert the time given in hours to minutes.

• Step 1: Recall the conversion rate between hours and minutes: $1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes}$.
• Step 2: Multiply the given number of hours by the conversion factor of 60 minutes per hour.

Let's apply these steps:

$3 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes per hour} = 180 \text{ minutes}$.

Therefore, $3 \text{ hours}$ is equivalent to $\textbf{180 minutes}$.

The answer is choice 1: $180$.
