Ultimate Fashion is opening their newest store at Millennium Mall. They have a digital clock on the door counting down the number of hours until the grand opening. The clock currently shows 1,947 hours. Becky is excited about the opening and is wanting to know how long she has to wait, in terms of days and hours, for the store to open. So, she divided 1,947 hours by 24 hours. To make sure that she did the division correctly, Becky checked her work by verifying that ___ x 24 +___=1,947
okay, so far, 1947 divided by 24=
81.125 days
so far, we know that she will have to wait at least 81 days
however, we have to find the hours
.125 is the hour
you realize that .125 is 1/8 of 1 if you divide 1 by 8
so, times 1/8 as a fraction by 3/3, cuz the denominator (8) will become 24
1 times 3 will equal 3, which means 3 hours
overall, Becky will have to wait 81 days and 3 hours for Ultimate Fashion to open
