Question
Just wondering what the following hours add up to I don't think using a calculator in terms of time adds up correctly:

8.45
8.3
9
8.45
8.3
Is there a website whereby if you enter time figures in it can calculate for you?

Answer
JJ~

Just add up the numbers and get 42.5 hours. Of course you know that .5 is a half hour but if you didn't then you would use ratios: .5hour/1hour = xmin/60min, cross multiply getting x = 30. No I don't know of any website that calculates this for you.
