It gives an answer of 8.233 because the fraction is
8 + (14/60) without the rounding
With the rounding it is 8 + (15/60) or
8 ¼
8:15 to 1:45 = 13:45 - 8:15 = 5:30 hours
2:15 to 4:59 = 4:59 - 2:15 = 2:44 hours
Total = 5:30 + 2:44 = 7:74 = 8:14 = 8 hours 14 minutes or 8 1/4 hour rounded to the nearest 1/4 hour.
4:59 - 2:15 = 4 - 2 = 2 hours and 59 - 15 = 44 minutes
1:45 - 8:15 = 13:45 - 8:15 = 13 - 8 = 5 hours and 45 - 15 = 30 minutes
2 hours, 44 minutes + 5 hours, 30 minutes = 7 hours, 74 minutes = 8 hours, 14 minutes
Round this up to 8 hours, 15 minutes = 8 15/60 hours = 8 1/4 hours
employee came in at 8.15 and went out at 1.45 = 5.5 hours
had a break and
came back in at 2.15 and left at 4.59 = 2 .75 hours....[less 1 minute]
5.5 + 2.75 = 8.25 which is 8 1/4..............the minute is probably allowable
