Adding Colums with time and * by hourly rate

I have several numbers entered as h:mm and I like to add them and multiply by an hourly rate. for example

A1 6:52 min
A2 5:42 min
A3 6:00 min

I have the column set as time h:mm so when I add all the times it comes out correct but I want to calculate $6.5 per hour times all the hours in column A1:A3 the number does not out correctly I have the following

=sum(A1:A3)*6.50

or

I convert the hours and minuets to minutes total and multiply b .183 which is 6.50 divided by 60

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

Thank you so much that worked perfectly, I would have never figured it out. Thanks again

Another question now that the above formula works, I want to add the above figure with a new figure so I use =sum(e1:e2) e1 being a dollar amount and e2 being the result of the formula above but it shows 0:00 any ideas on that one please.

Another problem reference to the formula above =(HOUR(SUM(A1:A3))+MINUTE(SUM(A1:A3))/60)*6.5 A1:A3 is 49:30:00 (h:mm:seconds) does not come out correctly the formula shows $9.50 where it should be $321.00

thanks

I found my answer via a different post =(column)*24*Rate for me it was =F39*24*6.50
