Timecard GuruHow this conversion works
Keep the 7 whole hours. Convert the minutes on their own: 30 ÷ 60 = 0.50. Add that fraction to the hours: 7 + 0.50 = 7.50.
Write 7.50 on the timesheet. Do not write 7.30. Putting the minutes after the dot is the usual mix-up, and it short-changes the time. 30 minutes is 0.50 of an hour, so 7 hours 30 minutes is 7.50, not 7.30.
