Decimal Hours to Hours and Minutes
Timesheets often show hours as decimals, such as 2.75, while clocks show 2:45. To read a decimal, keep the whole number as the hours and multiply the rest by 60: 0.75 × 60 is 45, so 2.75 hours is 2 hours and 45 minutes. Be careful with 1.30, which is not 1 hour 30 minutes but 1.3 hours, or 1 hour 18 minutes.
