We know 1 day = 24 hours

Let's convert 5 days to hours:


5\text{days}*\frac{24\text{hour}}{1\text{day}}=5*24=120hours

Now, we have the ratio:

22 hours to 120 hours

We can write it as a fraction:


(22)/(120)

This is not in its lowest terms. We can divide numerator and denominator by "2", to get:


(22)/(120)=(11)/(60)

Thus, final answer is:

11/60

or


(11)/(60)
