Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 60: 12 × 60 ≈ 720 min, against the exact 720 min (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A hour is bigger than a minute, so the number of minutes must come out larger than the number of hours. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
