That depends on exactly how the data is being stored in the cells.
If it's stored as a time value, then it's just a case of cell formatting - or should be.
If it's stored as a string, you will need to use the VALUE function (possibly with SUBSTRING) to convert it to a numeric value first (I'd convert it to a number of minutes and then divide down from there)
