I would like to highlight (using conditional formatting) all numbers in a column with decimals not equal to .0, .25, .5 or .75. So if this list includes 5.5 or 5.75, that will be ignored, but if it has 5.83, I want to be alerted. Is this possible?

I'm trying to have a cell turn red if it took more than 5 minutes to complete task. Column D is the result of subtracting B(time in) from C(time out). Ideally, there would be conditional formatting in column C that would turn red when over 5 minutes. However, I can't get it to work.
