Hey teachers, can you please help me out by telling me if this is right?
Converting standard time to deci time.

Step 1
8:11PM=2011

Step 2
20+11=20.18333333
LLLL60
Step 3
20.18333333 Divide by 2.4= 8.40972=08:40:97
Ignore the L's.

I agree - blackoptimus, I was with you up to Step 2 (and I think you're right), but I don't get Step 3. (I am a teacher, but since I'm an English or Latin teacher by training, I don't know how qualified I am to help either.)
