Additional comment

Multiply 60 minutes by the fraction of hours to get minutes.

60×0.628823 ≈ 37.729393 . . . minutes

Multiply 60 seconds by the fraction of minutes to get seconds.

60×0.729393 ≈ 43.76 . . . seconds

Intermediate values in the calculation should not be rounded. Full calculator precision should be maintained until the final answer.
