Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 17/37 of a day. We will also illustrate what 17/37 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 17/37 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 17/37 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
17/37 × 24 = 408/37
408/37 = 11 1/37
= 11 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.
1/37 × 60 = 60/37
60/37 = 1 23/37
= 1 minute
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.
23/37 × 60 = 1380/37
1380/37 ≈ 37.30
≈ 37.30 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 17/37 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
17/37 of a day ≈ 11 hours & 1 minute & 37.30 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 17/37 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 17/37 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.
