How this conversion works
The digits before the decimal point are the whole hours (5). The rest is a fraction of the next hour, not a minute count. Multiply that fraction by 60: 0.75 × 60 = 45. That is 5 hours and 45 minutes.
Do not read 5.75 as 5 hours and 75 minutes. 5.75 hours is 5 hours and 45 minutes, because 0.75 × 60 = 45.
