Default correlate a series of numbers in mm:ss to another column also in m

I would like to create a chart which shows a series of numbers in minutes and
seconds (to the hundreths of a second) that correlates to another column,
also measured in minutes and seconds(and also to the hundreths of a second)
by a factor of 0.93567448724. For example, the first column will start with
16:00.00 and the second column will have 14:58.25, which is 0.93567448724
times as large as 16:00.00.

I've tried to use the forumla of A*B, where A is the number 16:00.00 and B
is the constant 0.93567448724, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that I'm using the text formatting in the number tab of
the format dialouge box instead of the time formatting. Is this why it's not
working?

You'll need to use custom formating for times
[mm]:ss.00
