The working

Minutes = decimal part × 60. Decimal = minutes ÷ 60.

Worked examples

7.75 hours: 0.75 × 60 = 45, so 7 h 45 min.
5.77 hours: 0.77 × 60 = 46.2 minutes, and 0.2 × 60 = 12 seconds, so 5 h 46 min 12 s.
7.84 hours: 0.84 × 60 = 50.4 minutes, so 7 h 50 min 24 s.
8 h 20 min: 20 ÷ 60 = 0.333, so 8.33 hours.
A week of 7.5, 8:15, 7.75, 8 and 6h30m: 7.5 + 8.25 + 7.75 + 8 + 6.5 = 38 hours; at $32 an hour, $1,216.

Good to know

Decimal hours on timesheets

The common mistake: reading 7.30 as 7 hours 30 minutes. In decimal hours it is 7 hours 18 minutes.
Quarter hours are the easy ones to remember: .25 = 15 min, .5 = 30 min, .75 = 45 min.
Rounding: some employers round to the nearest quarter or tenth of an hour. In the US, rounding must not consistently cut paid time; check your rules.
Spreadsheets: a time like 7:45 is stored as a fraction of a day. Multiply by 24 to get decimal hours: =A1*24.

Print room

Two wall charts and a weekly timesheet, or the timesheet in Excel

Minutes to decimal hours (every minute 1 to 60), decimal hours to minutes (every hundredth), or a weekly timesheet that already holds your hours and pay. The Excel timesheet works out each day, the week and the pay with live formulas.

For spreadsheets and code

The same conversion in code

decimal_hours = 7.75
total_seconds = round(decimal_hours * 3600)
h, rest = divmod(total_seconds, 3600)
m, s = divmod(rest, 60)
print(f"{decimal_hours} hours = {h}h {m:02d}m {s:02d}s")

Both snippets convert your current decimal hours to hours, minutes and seconds.
