Default Converting decimal fractions of minutes to seconds

Don't know why you'd want to do that when Richards suggestion is so much
simpler,

=C568/1440

format as [m]:ss

or if you want a text result

=TEXT(C568/1440,"[m]:ss")

Sorry..... Question should have read: How do I convert 5.5 minutes to display
5:30(5 minues 30 seconds).
I successfully used example : =LEFT(C568,FIND(".",C568)-1) & ":" & 60 *
RIGHT(C568,LEN(C568)-FIND(".",C568)+1)
Thanks!

If 5.5 is in cell A1 then:

=.000656565*A1 and format as mm:ss
