Converting into hours and minutes. Would it be 22 hours 20?

@BluePlanet Huh? That’s 1340 minutes 🤔

@Adogslife I'm trying to work out how much I owe my cleaner. Calculated it as 121 hours and 80 minutes. This is then equivalent to 122 hours and 20 minutes?
Adogslife · 61-69, M
@BluePlanet Yes. Correct.

But, if it’s 121.8 hours, that’s 121 hours 48 minutes.

@Adogslife I'm getting different responses each time on a calculator

@BluePlanet It’s the way you’re asking the question. 121.8 hours is not 121 hours 80 minutes. It’s 121 hours 48 minutes.

If (somehow) you’ve added up a timesheet and have 80 minutes over and above the 121 hours, then yes. You’ll pay for 122 hours 20 minutes, or 122.33 hours.

Yes, I need to add up a timesheet and I am getting 121.8 when calculating the hours.
So this then makes 122 hours 20 minutes to pay?

@BluePlanet 121.8 hours is 121 hours 48 minutes. It is not the same as 121 hours 80 minutes. There’s no decimal point in an hourly calculation typically. Maybe that’s what’s confusing the answers you’re receiving. 8/10th’s of an hour is 48 minutes. 80 minutes is an hour and twenty minutes, or 1.33 hours.

Only you know what you counted.
