Decimal Hours vs Hours and Minutes
Decimal hours and normal hours-and-minutes notation describe the same amount of time in different ways. This is particularly useful for timesheets, payroll, invoices and other calculations involving time.
For example, 2.5 hours means 2 hours and 30 minutes, not 2 hours and 50 minutes. The decimal 0.5 represents half an hour, and half of 60 minutes is 30 minutes.
