Multiplying mins/hrs by number - incorrect result

[Randi]

I am trying to multiple 6h22m by 5.8 people.
When I do the calculations by hand I get I get 36h8m.
The formula gives me 12h55m. The cell formats
are above the numbers. Does anyone know what
I'm doing wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

H:mm # 2 dec h:mm
6:22 X 5.80 = 12:55

I think you may need to custom format the cell with *[h]:mm:ss*

H:mm # 2 dec h:mm
6:22 X 5.80 = 12:5

I tried that and it still doesn't produce the correct result - I just get the
seconds - 12:55:36. Any other suggestions?

The cell that contains the hours worked must be formatted [h]:mm and th
hours worked entered in this format 6:22 the cell doing the calculatio
must also be formatted [h]:mm

So in A1 fomatted [h]:mm enter 6:22 in B1 formatted [h]:mm ente
=A1*5.8

Now what do you get? i get 36:55 (you got "36h8m"
