How to convert 9 minutes to decimal
Decimal hours = minutes ÷ 60, so 9 ÷ 60 = 0.15.
Going back: 0.15 × 60 = 9 minutes. Any whole number of hours plus 9 minutes ends in .15: 1:09 = 1.15, 7:09 = 7.15, 8:09 = 8.15.
Payroll example
You work 8 hours 9 minutes at $24.00 an hour.
- Convert the time: 8 + 9 ÷ 60 = 8 + 0.15 = 8.15 hours.
- Multiply by the rate: 8.15 × $24.00 = $195.60.
Typing 8:09 as 8.09 would pay $194.16 instead: $1.44 too little. Add up a whole week of clock times with the time card calculator.
