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: 0.83 × 60 = 49.8. That is 49 minutes and 48 seconds.
Do not read 0.83 as 83 minutes. 0.83 hours is 49 minutes and 48 seconds, because 0.83 × 60 = 49.8.
