How this conversion works
The digits before the decimal point are the whole hours (0). The rest is a fraction of the next hour, not a minute count. Multiply that fraction by 60: 0.08 × 60 = 4.8. That is 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
Do not read 0.08 as 8 minutes. 0.08 hours is 4 minutes and 48 seconds, because 0.08 × 60 = 4.8.
