Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 12/79 of a day. We will also illustrate what 12/79 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 12/79 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 12/79 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
12/79 × 24 = 288/79
288/79 = 3 51/79
= 3 hours
Step 2) Calculate minutes
Next we calculate the minutes. There are 60 minutes per hour. Therefore, we multiply the leftover fraction part from Step 1 by 60. The whole number of the product we get is the number of minutes.
51/79 × 60 = 3060/79
3060/79 = 38 58/79
= 38 minutes
Step 3) Calculate seconds
Finally, we calculate the seconds. There are 60 seconds per minute. Therefore, we multiply the leftover fraction part from Step 2 by 60. The product we get is the number of seconds.
58/79 × 60 = 3480/79
3480/79 ≈ 44.05
≈ 44.05 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 12/79 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
12/79 of a day ≈ 3 hours & 38 minutes & 44.05 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 12/79 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 12/79 of it in red.
Note that each pie slice above is one hour, and the whole pie is one day. Therefore, there are twenty-four slices.
