Create metric time using factors of 10. 1 day was 10 metric hours, 1 metric hour was 10 metric minutes, and 1 metric minute was 10 metric seconds, what time would it really be if a metric clock reads 7: 8: 1?

So one metric hour is one-tenth of a day, which means it is 2.4 hours (1/10*12).

1 metric minute is one-tenth of a metric hour, which means it is 2.4*1/10*60 = 14.4 minutes.

1 metric second is one-tenth of a metric minute, meaning it is 14.4*1/10*60 = 86.4 seconds.

All in all, then, 7:8:1 would be:
