Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 55/62 of a day. We will also illustrate what 55/62 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 55/62 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 55/62 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
55/62 × 24 = 1320/62
1320/62 = 21 9/31
= 21 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.
9/31 × 60 = 540/31
540/31 = 17 13/31
= 17 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.
13/31 × 60 = 780/31
780/31 ≈ 25.16
≈ 25.16 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 55/62 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
55/62 of a day ≈ 21 hours & 17 minutes & 25.16 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 55/62 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 55/62 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.
