Question

A period of 6 hours is what percent of the day?​

Answer 1

Hours in a day=24

so,

6/24 = 1/4

therefore,

1/4×100= 25

Therefore, 6 hours of a day 25%

Answer 2

A period of 6 hours is 25% of a day.

Given : The given time period = 6 hours

To find : The percent of a day which is equal to the given time period.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the required percentage)

Here, we will be using normal percentage calculation method.

A day = 24 hours

So,

The percentage :

= 100 × (given time period / hours in a day)

= 100 × (6/24)

= 25%

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, a time period of 24 hours is 25% of a day.
