Decimal duration versus clock-style duration
One minute is 60 seconds and one hour is 60 minutes. A result such as 1.5 hours is one hour and 30 minutes, not one hour and 50 minutes.
The site treats days as exactly 86,400 seconds. Calendar months, leap seconds and local time zones are separate from fixed elapsed durations.
Reference: NIST conversion factors. Calculation and display rounding are separate. See how we calculate.
