Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 47/72 of a day. We will also illustrate what 47/72 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 47/72 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 47/72 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
47/72 × 24 = 1128/72
1128/72 = 15 2/3
= 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.
2/3 × 60 = 120/3
120/3 = 40
= 40 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 47/72 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
47/72 of a day = 15 hours & 40 minutes
Below is a pie chart showing 47/72 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 47/72 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.
