Calendar or duration rule
total seconds = decimal hours × 3,600, then split into hours/minutes/seconds.
Rounding can affect the final second when the decimal has many digits.
Worked check
For 2.75 decimal hours, the whole part is 2 hours and 0.75 × 60 = 45 minutes, giving 2:45:00. Very long decimal inputs can leave a fractional second, so only round after converting the full value.
Rule: total seconds = decimal hours × 3,600, then split into hours/minutes/seconds. Rounding can affect the final second when the decimal has many digits. For a final check, distinguish calendar arithmetic from elapsed duration, confirm the intended local date or time zone, and inspect month-end, leap-year or daylight-saving boundaries when they can affect the meaning.
