Answer:

10.224 hours =
10 hours 13 minutes 26.4 seconds

Explanation:

24 hours x 42.6% = 10.224 hours

If we need to express in hours, minutes, seconds, then:

24 hours = 24 * 3600 = 86400 sec
86400 sec x 42.6% = 36806.4 sec

Hours:
36806.4 sec // 3600 sec = 10 hours
remainder: 36806.4 sec - 3600 sec x 10 hours = 806.4 sec

Minutes:
806.4 sec // 60 sec = 13 minutes
remainder: 806.4 sec - 13 minutes x 60 sec = 26.4 sec

Full answer: 10 hours 13 minutes 26.4 seconds
