Really strange time request

I just got a workbook with a Total Time column. However, this column while formatted as h:mm:ss actually represents the time as d:hh:mm. The co worker would like to be able to add JUST the minute column without it converting each 60 min to another hour. e.g.
A2
0:13:50
0:13:50
would represent 0 days, 13 hours and 50 min, twice. But the person wants the minutes (50 *2) to just be added up to equal 100 NOT 1 hour and 40 min. I tried just doing a =right(A2,2) to grab the minutes and then just summing those but it's bringing back the excel serial number not the value shown.

Thanks for any help!
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
You can convert the time value number to text, then take the RIGHT 2 digits, then coerce the text back to a number by adding a zero. Like this
=RIGHT(TEXT(C1,"h:mm:ss"),2)+0

If you just want decimal minutes, perhaps:

=SUMPRODUCT(SECOND(A1:A100))
