Calculating Corrected Time

Calculation is: Elapsed Time ÷ Yardstick x 100 = Corrected Time.

Express 'Elapsed Time' in minutes and seconds, in decimals of minutes.
eg. 30 secs: 30 ÷ 60 = .5 min
6 secs: 6 ÷ 60 = .1 min

An example:

Elapsed Time: 1 hr 45 mins 15 secs = 105.25
Yardstick: 113
Calculation: 105.25 ÷ 113 x 100 = 93.14 (correct to 2 decimal places)
