An hour is 60 minutes. Decimal hours are the number of minutes divided by 60. The h:mm line is that same length in whole hours and minutes.

The other direction multiplies decimal hours by 60. 2.5 hours times 60 is 150 minutes, written 2:30.
Seconds are part of the length. 30 seconds is half a minute, so 90 minutes and 30 seconds is 90.5 minutes, 1.508333 decimal hours, written 1:30:30.
