6Why are you calling `print()` inside `input()`? The argument to `input()` is a string to print as the prompt. – Barmar Sep 24 '19 at 20:49

What is the output that you're getting? – rassar Sep 24 '19 at 20:49

4`input` takes a string and prints it to the screen then waits for input. `print` prints to the screen and doesn't return anything, that is, it returns `None`, which then `input` prints. Yes, input does 2 things instead of 1. – solarc Sep 24 '19 at 20:51

Because you are adding the function print() within your input code, which is creating a None first, followed by the user input. Here is the solution:
def hours_to_minutes(minutes):
hours = minutes/60
return hours
h = int(input("Enter the number of minutes: "))
print(hours_to_minutes(h))
Output:
Enter the number of minutes: 50

Input is printing the result of print("Enter the number of minutes:", and print() returns None. What you want is int(input("Enter the number of minutes:")) with no print().
