Formula

Total Minutes = Σ (Hours × 60 + Minutes)

Normalized Hours = ⌊|Total Minutes| ÷ 60⌋ × sign

Normalized Minutes = |Total Minutes| mod 60 × sign

Decimal Hours = Total Minutes ÷ 60

Decimal Days = Decimal Hours ÷ 24

Example: (1 h 30 m) + (0 h 45 m) − (0 h 10 m) → 125 minutes → 2 hours 05 minutes.
