On average, a martian day is about 1 day and 40 minutes (using the Earth Day as a point of reference). The reason this is so close, is Mars has a very similar tilt to the earth.
From here on out, assume when I say day, hour, etc., I'm talking about using earth as the reference.
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
Convert the 40 minutes to hours (using the conversion factors I listed above):
40 minutes x (1 hour / 60 minutes ) = 4/6 hours = 2/3 hour
We know one day is 24 hours just looking at the other conversion factor, so just add the two up, and you have your answer:
24 hours + 2/3 hour ~= 24.667 hours
The answer is an average mars day has 24.667 hours, from the perspective of earth.
