How much precision do you need?
Each row is the same answer cut at a different number of decimals, with what that choice costs you. Pick the shortest row whose error is smaller than whatever you are measuring with.
| Rounded to | Answer (d) | Off by |
|---|---|---|
| Whole number | 0 | −0.04167 |
| 1 decimal | 0.0 | −0.04167 |
| 2 decimals | 0.04 | −0.00167 |
Round trip: take 0.042 d back the other way and you land on 1.0080 h — a drift of 0.0080 h. That gap is the rounding, not the conversion.
