Calculating how long each frame should be on screen?

I'm going to bring a lot of still frames into FCP, say 1000 and I want the Sequence to be 24 FPS. How do I calculate the amount of time that each frame should be on screen?

Thanks.

24fps...each frame will be on screen for 1/24th of a second.

Thanks, I guess what I should have asked was how to enter that into the duration field for the frame. If 1 / 24 = 0.0416666667 how does that translate to 00:00:00:00

Pardon my ignorance.

Thanks.

IN the User Preferences>EDITING tab, you set the FREEZE/STILL DURATION to 00:00:00:01. One frame.
