So, after a bunch of trial-and-error and remembering various clues from
other questions over time, I was able to solve this problem
in weewx/skins/Seasons/current.inc
#elif $x == 'last_runtime'
<tr>
#set hours_on = $rnd(($current.last_runtime.raw / 3600.0), 1)
<td class="label">$obs.label[$x]</td>
<td class="data">$hours_on hrs</td>
</tr>
solves the "I want seconds converted to hours to one decimal."
