Seems strange, but I've asked stranger stuff.

Are you looking for something like this:

SELECT
CONVERT(TIME,
DATEADD(SS,
((DATEPART(HH, GETDATE())*3600+ DATEPART(MI, GETDATE())*60+ DATEPART(SS, GETDATE()))/3.5),
'19010101'))

what mean does it make? dividing current time by 3.5? may be you're looking at taking time interval and then manipulating it.

Multiplication and division on DATETIME column do not make any sense. Thats why It is possible to use

select getdate()+1,getdate()-10

whereas it is not possible

select getdate()*2,getdate()/10
