The working
The factor below is an exact definition rather than a measurement, so nothing is approximated in the arithmetic. The only rounding on this page happens where a number is displayed.
1 minute = 0.016667 hours 140 × 0.016667 = 2.33
140 minutes as 2 hr 20 min
A decimal is the right form for a spreadsheet and the wrong one for almost everything else. Split into whole units, 140 min is 2 hr 20 min — the reading you would actually give someone, and the one a tape measure, a scale, or a timetable is marked in.
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.
