The Ancient Egyptians did. Type that same exact question into Google and you'll find tons of interesting information about it.
November 24 1943 was a Wednesday.
Medieval servants who may have worked on a king's farmlands, might be expected to toil from sunrise to sunset, depending on the weather of exact type of work that the king required. Servants who worked indoors as cooks and such had long hours as well. Each village of servants serving a noble or a king worked long hours as required by the royalty they served.

Under ideal conditions, a purpose-built fast clipper ship could maintain 2l Knots and over a 24 Hour period this would amount to about a day"s Run of close to 500Miles. These are exceptional cases with crack crews and handling and ideal weather conditons, runing before the wind, as they say. Around about l850 the major speed records were made under sail . I believe the(Champion of the Seas) was quoted with the 2l Knots over 24 Hours which is real (Bonneville stuff) for sailing ships.
Probably about the same as modern armies can walk today if walking becomes necessary. I would estimate between ten and twenty miles/kilometers average, but several factors were involved such as the type of terrain and the weather. Then as today, an army could usually make better time on a road than cross country, but as their supply trains (wagons and/or pack animals) moved slowly it was not necessary for armies to move too fast when traveling.
An earth day is divided into 24 hours.
8 hours is one-third of a day. (8 divided by 24 hours in a day and 8/24 = 1/3)
they divided the day in 24 hours and the divided the hour into 60 minutes
There are 24 hours in a day so 158 divided by 24 equals 6.583 days.
8 hours is one-third of a day. If the time period is 8 hours, the fraction of a day is 8 divided by 24 (hours in a day). 8/24 = 1/3
Obviously, 24 hours day.
402 hours divided by 24 hours per day = 16.75 days
24 hours in one day, so 1800 divided by 24 equals 75 days.
0.3 days = one third of a day. So: 24 hours equals one day, 24 divided by 3 to find one third of a day... = 8 hours
That is probably because we divide the day into 24 hours.
375000 divided in 24 hours = 15625
That means take it every 6 hours. 24 hours in a day, divided by 4 is 6.
