If you run Linux and have the `units` program installed, you can even do it without reaching for a web page:

  $ units '1-(11hr+22min)/(11hr+55min)'

the Math is trivial - it's a bit more of a half an hour out of ~12h. That's bit more than 1/24 = ~4.5%.

Just tried this on macOS but it must be a different 'units' command as it won't accept that input. :-(

However I just discovered that if you hit command spacebar and paste that into the spotlight search it gives the right answer! Spotlight has always done simple unit conversions but it didn't used to be able to do calculations with units in them. I wonder when that was introduced...

Or you can just convert it into minutes...

I suspect a lot more people here will have access to a browser than to a Linux shell with a specific tool installed.

You're right! Not sure how I did that.
