   Hours, Minutes and Seconds

Hours, minutes and seconds are units for the measurement of time. For example we can say:

hours;minutes;seconds

Now just remember

hours =day

hour    = minutes

minute =seconds

Henceday =hours ortime ofhours  

Therefore,

days    =times ofhours

days    =times ofhours

days    =times ofhours and so on.

hour=minutes or 1 time ofminutes

hours  =times ofminutes

hours  =times ofminutes and so on.

Againminute =seconds ortime of seconds

Hence,minutes =times ofseconds

minutes =time ofseconds and so on.
