One variable contains values (1.30 - one hour and thirty minutes, 1.2 (which is supposed to be 1.20 - one hour and twenty minutes)). I would like to convert to a minute variable so 1.2 is converted to 80 minutes. How?
You could make a simple little function that does the following
timeconv <- function(time){
newtime <- floor(time)*60 + (time-floor(time))*100
return(newtime)
}
floor(1.2)*60 + (1.2-floor(1.2))*100
[1] 80
floor(1.4)*60 + (1.4-floor(1.4))*100
[1] 100
floor(1.3)*60 + (1.3-floor(1.3))*100
