Hi,

how do you mean? You want to transfer from a 60 minute per hour system to a 100 minutes per hour system or ...?

If so you might want to check out http://www.ehow.com/how_5557920_calculate-time-minute-clock.html. or here: http://www.ehow.com/how_7393806_convert-clock-100-60-minutes.html.

is it possible that you're pulling our legs?  for April Fool's Day, one radio announcer talked about switching to metric time ... 10 hour day, 100 minute hour, hundred second minute?

i think what you probably mean is how to represent a part of an hour as a decimal ...

Example:  45 minutes = .75 hours

the formula is simple:   minutes/60

  15/60 = .25

  6/60 = .1

is this what you mean?

Actually I read about it once in a book. I found it ackward back then but in the back of the book it stated that there were indeed times in the past that this system was actually being used. The ultimate encyclopedia also shows that it has been used in China and France: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time#History.
