Why decimal time causes confusion

7:30 is not the same as 7.30

Normal clock time and decimal time use different systems.

If you want to understand the difference in more detail, see What Are Decimal Hours?

A standard hour contains:

60 minutes

So: 7:30 means:

7 hours 30 minutes

Thirty minutes is half an hour, so in decimal form:

7:30 = 7.50 hours

But: 7.30 decimal hours means 7 hours plus 0.30 of an hour.

0.30 × 60 = 18

So:

7.30 hours = 7 hours 18 minutes

That is why:

7:30 ≠ 7.30
