Answer 1

CREATE TABLE #tblTime
(
    timespent VARCHAR(25)
);

INSERT INTO #tblTime VALUES (78)
INSERT INTO #tblTime VALUES (60)
INSERT INTO #tblTime VALUES (100)

SELECT 
    CAST(TimeSpent/ 60 AS VARCHAR(10)) + ':' + 
    RIGHT('0' + CAST(TimeSpent % 60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) AS [HH:MM] 
FROM 
    #tblTime
