What fraction of a day is 80 seconds?

It is something very small. Divide 80 by (24 x 60 x 60); that is equal:

80/86400 = 1/1080 or about 0.00092593

It equals ~ 0.001 or one thousandth of the day

In what order do Canadians write the date?

Date containing only numbers

English and French

The Translation Bureau recommends that a date containing only numbers be written in the following order:

  • year-month-day
    • 2008-03-04 represents March 4, 2008
    • 2008-04-03 represents April 3, 2008

Note: Use a hyphen to separate the elements of the date.

Date containing words and numbers

English

The Translation Bureau recommends that a date containing words and numbers be written in the following order:

  • month-day-year
    • January 2, 2008 (not 2 January 2008)

French

Since there is only one order in which a date containing words and numbers can be written (day-month-year), a recommendation is not required.

  • le 2 janvier 2008.

For a breakdown of the rules for writing the date in French, see our Linguistic Reminder Date : règles d'écriture (in French only).

How do you reverse time?

You can't, unless you have a time machine lying around or something. Although some scientists have a theory that if you could travel faster than the speed of light you could travel backwards in time. You wouldn't be able to get back again though!

How many hours and minutes in 924 minutes?

There are 60 minutes in an hour, thus:

924/60 gives you the number of hours = 15 hours (15.4 actually but you only take the whole part)

and 15*60 is the number of minutes in 15 hours = 900 minutes.

thus 924-900= 24

Therefore there are 15 hours and 24 minutes in 924 minutes.

Do you gain seconds in a day?

This is a rather complex topic. Here are some very basic starting points: Greenwich Mean Time means just that: mean, or average. We arrived at the standard "second" by first determining the length of the year, and then figuring out how long the second would have to be so that the 24-hour day and the 365+ day year would reconcile over the course of a year. What many people may not realize is that the length of the "solar day" , the actual time elapsed between transits of the sun at any given location, is not a constant. One basic reason for this is that the earth's orbit is elliptical, while its rotational period is reasonably constant. But clocks based on Greenwich Mean Time do give us time periods of very precise length. You should check articles on "The Equation of Time", and the "Analemma". For parts of the year, the sun "lags" behind mean time, and at other parts of the year, the sun "precedes" mean time. Another interesting thing about seconds is that every few years we must add one to the year. This is called the "Leap Second", and is independent of the days that are added regularly on "Leap Years". Leap seconds are rarely if ever publicized, and often mis-understood. Some have very erroneously used the frequency of added leap years to calculate the "slowing down" of the earth. Leap seconds can't be used for this purpose, and attempting to do this shows a lack of understanding. Even though adding leap seconds happens now and then, the effect is not cumulative in nature. Discovering the explanation is too enjoyable to spoil here.

How many milisecond is in 2.5 minutes?

seconds in a milisecond=1000
seconds in a minute=60

2.5 minutes=150x1000=15000 milliseconds
5 minutes= 150000x2=300000 milliseconds

How much hours are in 54 minutes?

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we know there will be less than 1 hour in the answer. The correct answer will be a fraction.

To find the answer, first convert your hour to minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Second, divide the minutes you started with (54) by the hour (60).

You will arrive at an answer of 0.9, or converted to a fraction, 9/10 of an hour.
