Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 47/71 of a day. We will also illustrate what 47/71 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 47/71 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 47/71 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
47/71 × 24 = 1128/71
1128/71 = 15 63/71
= 15 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.
63/71 × 60 = 3780/71
3780/71 = 53 17/71
= 53 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.
17/71 × 60 = 1020/71
1020/71 ≈ 14.37
≈ 14.37 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 47/71 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
47/71 of a day ≈ 15 hours & 53 minutes & 14.37 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 47/71 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 47/71 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.
