    Hello I need some assistance in writing this code out, basically I will take a user inputted number divided by 3 + 180 then the output will be in hours and minutes..example 72 would be 1 hour 12 minutes.

    Here's my current code but I can't get it to work.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    <script>
    var pets = prompt ("How many pets do you own?");
    Function GetTime() {
    Math.floor(180 + pets/60) +" Hour "+ pets%60 + " Minutes.";
    }
    document.write GetTime;
    </script>
    
    </body>
    </html>
    Code (markup):

    1) It looks like your code is producing 181 hours and 12 minutes, which is not even close to what you are looking for.
    2) I do not see anywhere that you are dividing by 3
    3) Your example will never produce the results you are looking for

    pets = 72/3 + 180
    INT(pets)/60 = 3 hours
    MOD(pets, 60) = 24 minutes

    If you want to convert minutes to hours and minutes, you can use something like this:

    function convert_time(number)
    {
      var hours = Math.floor(number / 60); 
      var minutes = number % 60;
      return hours + ":" + minutes;        
    }

    Duh, didn't you READ what the OP said? That is the formula he is using! He needs help with the INPUTS, not the FORMULA.
