You could have used a spreadsheet back in the 80ies and it would be the
exact same method. Either multiply the days by 24 to get hours or change
the number format. As a third method you may separate full days from day
fractions.

A1: =PI()
=int(A1) => 3 full days
=mod(A1;1) => 3:24 (about 1/7 of a day)

A1 formatted as HH:MM => 03:23 (time on day #3)
A1 formatted as [HH]:MM => 75:24 (showing full hours)
=A1*24 => 75.4 hours
