Default Converting decimal fractions of minutes to seconds

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

This will get you 5:12 from 5.5, assuming 5.5 is in A1

=LEFT(A1,FIND(".",A1)-1) & ":" & 60 / RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(".",A1))

I think I see where .5 comes up with 12 minutes (1/5 minute vs 1/2 minute).
If that was a typo then this would give you 5:30
=LEFT(C568,FIND(".",C568)-1) & ":" & 60 *
RIGHT(C568,LEN(C568)-FIND(".",C568)+1)

Note that both results are text, not true time.
