Click in one of the cells that have your hours in it and select/copy
**everything** in the formula bar (don't retype it for us... select whatever
is in the formula bar and hit Ctrl+C to copy it into the clipboard) and then
paste it onto a separate line in a response to this message.

tried all the ways listed but none gave a correct value. i know it is
something simple i missed but can't find it.

Damn! I forgot about the newsreader breaking lines at spaces. Here is the
same formula broken so that the newreader won't do that...
=INT(A1)&" hour"&IF(INT(A1)=1," ","s ")&MINUTE(A1/24)&
" minute"&IF(MINUTE(A1/24)=1,"","s")

Although perhaps this would be better...
=INT(A1)&" hour"&IF(INT(A1)=1," ","s ")&MINUTE(A1/24)&"
minute"&IF(MINUTE(A1/24)=1,"","s")
as it properly handles the "s" (plural/single) for when either/both the
hours and minutes are 1.

I think you can do away with the two string function calls by doing
this...
=INT(A1)&" hours "&MINUTE(A1/24)&" minutes"

"237 hours 50 minutes". if i can get with text, that would be great.
A1 = decimal value = 237.83
=INT(A1)&" hours "&RIGHT(TEXT(A1/24,"h:mm"),2)&" mins"
Returns: 237 hours 49 mins
