Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
16 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '16'.
0.3125 + -1.25t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.3125' to each side of the equation.
0.3125 + -1.25t + -0.3125 + t2 = 0 + -0.3125

Reorder the terms:
0.3125 + -0.3125 + -1.25t + t2 = 0 + -0.3125

Combine like terms: 0.3125 + -0.3125 = 0.0000
0.0000 + -1.25t + t2 = 0 + -0.3125
-1.25t + t2 = 0 + -0.3125
