Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 15/87 of a day. We will also illustrate what 15/87 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 15/87 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 15/87 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
15/87 × 24 = 360/87
360/87 = 4 4/29
= 4 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.
4/29 × 60 = 240/29
240/29 = 8 8/29
= 8 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.
8/29 × 60 = 480/29
480/29 ≈ 16.55
≈ 16.55 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 15/87 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
15/87 of a day ≈ 4 hours & 8 minutes & 16.55 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 15/87 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 15/87 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.
