Convert hours that are given as a proportion into hours and minutes

Question

I have a date set where the hour of purchase is given as a proportion of 24 hours, so 0.5 is noon for example.

Now, I want to convert these proportions into a normal time with hours:minutes. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!
