Conversion formula

The conversion factor from days to hours is 24, which means that 1 day is equal to 24 hours:

1 d = 24 hr

To convert 5.5 days into hours we have to multiply 5.5 by the conversion factor in order to get the time amount from days to hours. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 d → 24 hr

5.5 d → T_(hr)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in hours:

T_(hr) = 5.5 d × 24 hr

T_(hr) = 132 hr

The final result is:

5.5 d → 132 hr

We conclude that 5.5 days is equivalent to 132 hours:

5.5 days = 132 hours

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 hour is equal to 0.0075757575757576 × 5.5 days.

Another way is saying that 5.5 days is equal to 1 ÷ 0.0075757575757576 hours.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five point five days is approximately one hundred thirty-two hours:

5.5 d ≅ 132 hr

An alternative is also that one hour is approximately zero point zero zero eight times five point five days.
