Conversion Example
- Convert 10 days to hours:
- Take 10 days
- Multiply 10 × 24 = 240 hours
- So, 10 days is 240 hours.
- Convert 3.5 days to hours:
- 3.5 × 24 = 84 hours
- Therefore, 3.5 days equals 84 hours.
- Convert 0.75 days to hours:
- 0.75 × 24 = 18 hours
- So, 0.75 days is 18 hours.
- Convert 15 days to hours:
- 15 × 24 = 360 hours
- Thus, 15 days equals 360 hours.
