Here we will show you how to calculate exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are in 55/73 of a day. We will also illustrate what 55/73 of a day looks like on a pie chart.
Step 1) Calculate hours
We start by calculating the total number of whole hours in 55/73 of a day. There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, we multiply 55/73 by 24. The whole number of the product we get is the number of hours.
55/73 × 24 = 1320/73
1320/73 = 18 6/73
= 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.
6/73 × 60 = 360/73
360/73 = 4 68/73
= 4 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.
68/73 × 60 = 4080/73
4080/73 ≈ 55.89
≈ 55.89 seconds
Now we have the hours, minutes and seconds of 55/73 of day. When we put it all together we get our answer as follows:
55/73 of a day ≈ 18 hours & 4 minutes & 55.89 seconds
Below is a pie chart showing 55/73 of day. To create the image, we first colored the whole pie in blue, and then we covered 55/73 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.
