Question 1

How do I convert decimal hours to minutes?

Accepted Answer

Multiply the part after the decimal point by 60. For 7.75 hours, 0.75 × 60 = 45, so it's 7 hours 45 minutes. For 8.2 hours, 0.2 × 60 = 12, so 8 hours 12 minutes.

Question 2

What is 0.1 of an hour?

Accepted Answer

6 minutes. Each tenth of an hour is 6 minutes, so 0.5 is 30 minutes and 0.25 is 15.

Question 3

Why do timesheets use decimal hours?

Accepted Answer

Pay is easier to work out: 7.75 hours at 20 an hour is 155, while 7:45 would have to be converted first. Payroll systems and many timesheet apps store hours as decimals for that reason.
