Decimal Hours vs Hours and Minutes
A time such as 2 hours 15 minutes can be written in two ways. In hours and minutes it is 2:15, and as a decimal it is 2.25 hours. Clocks and schedules use the first style, while timesheets, invoices and pay rates need the second. To split minutes into hours and minutes, divide by 60, keep the whole number and read the remainder as minutes: 135 minutes is 2 hours and 15 minutes.
