How to change a decimal of a minute into whole seconds in Access 2010

[JDenham]

I having great difficulty in changing a decimal of a minute into whole seconds; example 0.3 minutes into 18 seconds. I would like to use a update query that would take the [Downtime Min] and update a field in a table to [Downtime Sec]. I have searched the internet and have not found a suitable solution for this issue, I am sure I am missing something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should have a consistent unit of measure. If you record/store all of your minutes as seconds, you may reduce your issues.

For example, 1 min = 60 seconds. So if you multiply all minute values by 60, you will get your result in seconds.
For example, 5 Minutes = 5*60 seconds (300 seconds), 5.3 minutes = 5.3*60 (318 seconds).

Value in minutes * 60 = value in seconds

Good luck
