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
_____ × 24 + _____=1,947

81 * 24 + 3 = 1,947

This is how I got this answer:-

1947/24 = 81 hours

81*24 = 1944

1947-1944 = 3
