Need to convert hours and minutes to hours and tenths.

[MikeC]

I have a spreadsheet that tracks time - I currently convert hours and minutes
by adding the hours and multiplying the minutes by 1.666667. example 8 hours
and 30 minutes - =8+.30*1.666667 - results in 8.50. I have to manually
enter this for all hours and minute I want to convert to hours and tenths. I
am looking for a formula that can be entered in a cell that will
automatically convert the hours and minutes computed in the previous cell to
hours and tenths.

=HOUR(A1)+MINUTE(A1)/60

Format as general

An even easier way would be to multiply the time by 24 and format as general

=A1*24
