What is the metric conversions of 3.5 h min?

There is no metric conversion for time. In the French Revolution of 1789, the metyric system of weight and measures was introduced. The revolutionaries tried to convert everything into a metric system. However, because of astronomy and rotating bodies (Earth included), they were not able to make a metric system for time. So time remains 'unmetricissed'.
