Calculate percentage from two date/time stamps bash

I have two files "DURATION.txt" and "ABCDURATION.txt" which contain ~900 records where DURATION.txt is the total runtime and "ABCDURATION.txt" is a portion of that total. What I need to do is calculate the percentage of total using these two files.



DURATION.txt EXAMPLE:



0h:2m:54s
0h:6m:17s
1h:55m:42s
1h:5m:9s
...


ABCDURATION.txt EXAMPLE



0h:0m:31s
0h:0m:28s
1h:54m:34s
1h:4m:7s
0h:22m:6s
...


That said I was able to make awk work to accomplish this but not from the DATE/TIME stamp only with whole numbers



Example:



awk 'NR==FNRt+=$1;nextprintf("%d%sn", $1/t*100, "%")' ABCDURATION.txt DURATION.txt


This yields a whole number followed by the "%" sign. e.g. 50%



My question is can I do such a calculation using the TIME/DATE stamps or do I have to convert to seconds or something like that?
