Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 42/55 of a day. We will also illustrate what 42/55 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 42/55 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 42/55 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
42/55 × 24 = 1008/55
1008/55 = 18 18/55
= 18 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.
18/55 × 60 = 1080/55
1080/55 = 19 7/11
= 19 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.
7/11 × 60 = 420/11
420/11 ≈ 38.18
≈ 38.18 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 42/55 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
42/55 of a day ≈ 18 hours & 19 minutes & 38.18 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 42/55 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 42/55 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.
