$3/5$ hour means $0.6$ hours. Total time in $2 3/5$ hrs is $156$ minutes.

You have a total of $2.6$ hours because of the fact that $3/5$ hour is $0.6$ hour.

Therefore, you can calculate this time period in minutes.
In one hour there are $60$ minutes.

In $2.6$ hours, there are $=2.6 xx60= 156$ minutes.

In $2 3/5$ hours, you have $156$ minutes.

$156$ minutes

To convert from hours to minutes, just multiply by $60$

In $1$ hour, there are $1xx60 =60$ minutes
In $2$ hours there are $2 xx60 = 120$ minutes
In $3$ hours there are $3xx60 = 180$ minutes and so on...

In $2 3/5$ hours there are:

$2 3/5 xx 60$

$= 13/cancel5 xx cancel60^12$

$= 156$ minutes

You can also work with the whole hours and the fraction of an hour separately,

In $2$ hours there are $2 xx60 = 120$ minutes

$3/5$ of an hour is $3/cancel5 xx cancel60^12 = 3xx12 = 36$ minutes

$120+36 = 156$ minutes
