When using a microwave, if you want to heat something for a minute and a half, do you punch in 1.30 or 1.50?

Some MWs have a 30 second quickie button (used mainly for "reheat"). Hit it three times for 1.5 minutes.

You may also punch in 90.

Oh, hitting 90 is good--then you save a button-press. Try hitting 88 instead--it will be even quicker.

It occurs to me that if on a particular microwave oven, you can enter anything over .60 (e.g. .61), the measurement is in tenths of a minute, rather than in seconds. Therefore, one and a half minutes would be 1.5.
