The decimal represents part of a day. For example, a number ending in 0.5 will be halfway through the day or 12:00 PM / noon. Repeat the same process as above to populate cells B9: B11 with the same numbers as A9:A11. Formatting B9:B11 will be a little different. To get Excel to show the partial date in cells B9:B11 highlight those cells, navigate to the Home tab, locate number formatting, and then use the down arrow to select More Number Formats. This opens a dialog box where you can apply custom formats.
