Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 2/42 of a day. We will also illustrate what 2/42 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 2/42 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 2/42 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
2/42 × 24 = 48/42
48/42 = 1 1/7
= 1 hour
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.
1/7 × 60 = 60/7
60/7 = 8 4/7
= 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.
4/7 × 60 = 240/7
240/7 ≈ 34.29
≈ 34.29 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 2/42 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
2/42 of a day ≈ 1 hour & 8 minutes & 34.29 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 2/42 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 2/42 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.
