Hint: First we have to define what the terms we need to solve the problem are. In this question we use the concept of unit conversion, so here we convert the hours into days for which we required a standard conversion like a day where there are 24 hours.

Complete step by step answer:
Day can be defined as each of the 247 hour periods,
Time is defined as the duration, or a precise instant,
As we know from the given problem; convert 48 hours to days.
Since 60 second is one minute, 60 minute is equal to one hour and 24 hours are equal to one day.
Thus 24 hours =1 day
Therefore 1 hour =124 day (cross multiply on both sides)
Hence from the given question 48 hours = 124×48 days thus canceling by 24 we get
 48 Hours to days are 2 days.

Note: Multiplicand refers to the number multiplied. Multiplier refers to the number that multiplies on the first number.
Have a look at an example; while multiplying 5×7 the number 5 is called the multiplicand and the number 7 is called the multiplier.
 If we multiply zero ( 0 ) with a positive or negative number it will remain zero ( 0 ) only, since the product of any number by zero is zero. For example, 16 ×0 = 0 or 16×0=0 , even 16×12×0=0 In this question first, we calculated the value of one hour in terms of days after that we found the value of 48 hours by simply multiplying the value of one hour in days with forty-eight and we got the result that there are two days in forty-eight hours.
