Decimal Hours are more precise - decimal hours are almost 2 times more precise than minute hours. Minute hours have a maximum of 1/60 resolution, while decimal hours have a 1/100 resolution. Kinda technical, sorry. Decimal hours are easier to work with - Imagine trying to multiply 8:12 (which is 8 hours and 12 minutes) by an employee hourly rate. It’s much easier to multiply 8.20(or 8 hours and 12 minutes)  by an hourly rate to calculate payroll.

How it is converted from OTT
 * 1) Divide the 35 minutes by 60, e.g, 35 divided by 60 equals 0.58
 * 2) then add the 8 hours back in, 8 hours plus 0.58 equals 8.58 hours
