Using the result of date math in regular calculations

[Tony Olson]

I doing date math on a Hourly Pay worksheet (for a class).
5:30 - 1:30 = 4:00 - I want to take the result of the subtraction (4:00) and
multiply it times a Hourly Rate cell except the format of the number of
hours is in a custom/date format. What's the easiest way to convert this to
a number?

Thanks.
