24 hours are ------ 1 day

1 hour is -------- x day
----------------------------------

thus x day is
(1hour \cdot 1day)/(24hours)= (1)/(24) day


so

1 hour is 1/24 day

thus 2.5 hours are
2.5 \cdot (1)/(24)days= (2.5)/(24)days= (25)/(240)days


Answer:
(25)/(240) days, which is approximately 0.1 days
