In the Hours Grid method of entering hours, you can select whether to enter in hours and minutes or hours and tenths of an hour. That is set in:

File | Preferences | General tab | Hours Display [ Hours and minutes | Hours and tenths of hours ]

No matter which method of entering fractions of an hour, reports will display them in decimal format.
