#2# hours and #48# minutes and #0# seconds

Given: #2.8 #hours

#2.8 #hours is #2# hours and #0.8# of an hour.

Given that an hour consists of sixty minutes:

#(0.8 cancel(hr))/1 xx (60 min.)/(1 cancel(hr)) = 48 # min.

When multiplying #0.8 xx 60# we did not get any decimal. This means there aren't any seconds.

#2.8 # hours = #2# hours and #48# minutes and #0# seconds

To convert 2.8 hours to hours, minutes, and seconds:

1 hour = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds

2.8 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 168 minutes 0.8 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes

Therefore, 2.8 hours is equal to 2 hours, 48 minutes, and 0 seconds.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
