Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 42/43 of a day. We will also illustrate what 42/43 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 42/43 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 42/43 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
42/43 × 24 = 1008/43
1008/43 = 23 19/43
= 23 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.
19/43 × 60 = 1140/43
1140/43 = 26 22/43
= 26 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.
22/43 × 60 = 1320/43
1320/43 ≈ 30.70
≈ 30.70 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 42/43 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
42/43 of a day ≈ 23 hours & 26 minutes & 30.70 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 42/43 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 42/43 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.
