I am trying to use a formula to calculate 10% time improvements on my student's mile run times. I came up with a workaround to split the minutes and seconds into different cells, convert them into total seconds, multiply by .90, then divide by sixty to get Min.Sec. Not fully working though as I am getting results such as 5.92...

=(((C2*60)+D2)*0.9)/60
=(((minutes*60)+seconds)*0.9)/60
