Decimal Days
1. The problem is to convert 0.55 of a day into hours, minutes, and seconds.
2. We know that 1 day = 24 hours.
3. To find the hours, multiply 0.55 by 24: $$0.55 \times 24 = 13.2$$ hours.
4. The integer part 13 is the number of full hours.
5. To find the minutes, take the decimal part 0.2 hours and multiply by 60: $$0.2 \times 60 = 12$$ minutes.
6. There is no decimal part left, so seconds are 0.
7. Therefore, 0.55 days equals 13 hours, 12 minutes, and 0 seconds.
