Break down each segment into fractions of the main unit of measurement then add.
Example, if you want 2 hrs 45 minutes as fraction of a day,
There are 24 hours in one day so 2 hours would be,
X%5B1%5D=2%2F24=1%2F12
2 hours is 1/12 of a day.
.
.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour so,
X%5B2%5D=%2845%2F60%29%281%2F24%29=1%2F32
45 minutes is 1/32 of a day.
Adding,
X=X%5B1%5D%2BX%5B2%5D
X=1%2F12%2B1%2F32
X=8%2F96%2B3%2F96
X=11%2F96
So 2 hr 45 minutes is 11/96 of a day.
