Hi
I have a table in time with two Columns hours (decimal) and minutes (int)

i need to find the sum of the data in hours and minutes (HH:MM)

I have written the query

SQL

(Convert (int, (SUM (hours )
        + ( SUM (minutes ) / 60 )
        + ( SUM (minutes ) % 60/ 60))))) +'.'+
    (Convert (varchar (20), ( SUM (minutes ) % 60 ) % 60)))
From time

But the problem is when the value is n single digit in min like(0,1,2,...,9) then the output comes like eg

hrs=5
mins=7
Then the output is 5.7
But the output should come 5.07

Can you please help me out with it

Thank you
