What is 2/5 of a day?




Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 2/5 of a day. We will also illustrate what 2/5 of a day looks like on a pie chart.

Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 2/5 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 2/5 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.

2/5 × 24 = 48/5
48/5 = 9 3/5
= 9 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.

3/5 × 60 = 180/5
180/5 = 36
= 36 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.

0 × 60 = 0
0 = 0
= 0 seconds

Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 2/5 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:

2/5 of a day = 9 hours & 36 minutes


Below is a pie chart showing 2/5 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 2/5 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.
