example

1.15 hours = 1 hour 9 minutes

so

1.32 hours = ?

Grab the integer portion.
Multiply the remainder by the next smaller unit.

1.32 hours

1 hour + 0.32 hours

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, we have 0.32 hours = 0.32 hours * (60 min / 1 hr) = 60 * 0.32 min = 19.2 minutes

1 hour + 19.2 minutes = 1 hour + 19 minutes + 0.2 minutes

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, we have 0.2 minutes = 0.2 minutes * (60 sec / 1 min) = 60 * 0.2 sec = 12 sec

1.32 hours = 1 hour + 19 minutes + 12 seconds

You know degrees, minutes, and seconds can be done the same way. It's the same as time only degrees used instead of hours.

Say you have 23.345 degrees. That would be 23 degrees, 20 minutes, 42 seconds.

Say you had 23.345 hours: 23 hours, 20 minutes, 42 seconds.

See?.
