The way you have written it , only the variable l will be divided by 512 and not the whole factor hx60 + l
This is why the bracket is required.
Example :
If h=96 and l=15 , as in your example , then your equation gives the following results:
96x60 + 15/512 = t
5760 + 0.02929 = t
5760.02929 = t which is wrong
Now :
(h x 60 + l )/512 = t
(96 x 60 + 15)/512 = t
(5760 + 15)/512 = t
5775/512 = t
11.279 = t
It is obvious that your calculations are correct but you have miswritten the equation.
I couldn't help it , I teach math!
Sorry again.

haha thats okay! I appreciate the help there and it is fixed I also kept the l(m) and t(m) to make it look a bit cooler (m standing for minutes) even though a variable with a variable underscore or whatever you like to call it is used for more complex equations if I remember right. I cant believe I forgot that though, a basic rule of math haha. Thanks Von Harris!
