hours = 5;
minutes = 15;
converted = convert_time(hours,minutes);
disp(converted)


% Instead of writing function from scratch, you should first implement the 
% functionality, as in the code below. 
minutes_in_hour = 60;
mnt = minutes/minutes_in_hour;
total = hours + mnt;

% Then, you can pack it in the function. 

function total = convert_time(hours,minutes)
minutes_in_hour = 60;
mnt = minutes/minutes_in_hour;
total = hours + mnt;
end
