Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 3/60 of a day. We will also illustrate what 3/60 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 3/60 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 3/60 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
3/60 × 24 = 72/60
72/60 = 1 1/5
= 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.
1/5 × 60 = 60/5
60/5 = 12
= 12 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 3/60 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
3/60 of a day = 1 hour & 12 minutes
Below is a pie chart showing 3/60 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 3/60 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.
