How this conversion works
The digits before the decimal point are the whole hours (8). The rest is a fraction of the next hour, not a minute count. Multiply that fraction by 60: 0.15 × 60 = 9. That is 8 hours and 9 minutes.
Do not read 8.15 as 8 hours and 15 minutes. 8.15 hours is 8 hours and 9 minutes, because 0.15 × 60 = 9.
