How to convert 24 minutes to decimal
Decimal hours = minutes ÷ 60, so 24 ÷ 60 = 0.4.
Going back: 0.40 × 60 = 24 minutes. Any whole number of hours plus 24 minutes ends in .40: 1:24 = 1.40, 7:24 = 7.40, 8:24 = 8.40.
Payroll example
You work 4 hours 24 minutes at $17.25 an hour.
- Convert the time: 4 + 24 ÷ 60 = 4 + 0.40 = 4.40 hours.
- Multiply by the rate: 4.40 × $17.25 = $75.90.
Typing 4:24 as 4.24 would pay $73.14 instead: $2.76 too little. Add up a whole week of clock times with the time card calculator.
