Sure thing. Base 60 or Sexagesimal is the numerical system used for measuring time (1 hour equals to 60 minutes and so on). But this case is even simpler, so without going into much detail about bases, you're mapping between two sets of numbers:
0 -> 0
.15 -> .25
.30 -> .50
.45 -> .75
From working with clocks, we know that 15 minutes is .25 hours, 30 minutes is .5 hours and so on. So you only need to divide the fractional part ( effort_hours - floor(effort_hours) ) by .6 to get what you want.
For example, let's say effort_hours = 1.15; then floor(1.15) is 1; so:
floor(1.15) + ( (1.15 - floor(1.15)) / 0.6 ) = 1 + ( (1.15 - 1) / 0.6 ) = 1 + ( 0.15 / 0.60 ) = 1.25
Hope it helps. Feel free to ask a question if it's still unclear. :)

Hi Abbas, Thanks for your valuable suggestions. To my surprise I got the same output as what I have executed before. But unfortunately I'm unable to understand the logic of the code, in specific what is base 60 number? The used data type for "effort_hours" column is 'double precision'. Kindly help me in understanding the logic. Thanks in advance. Regards, Pavan -- Sent from:
