Answer 1

It would be 609 hours

Answer 2

Note that there are 24 hours in 1 day, and 60 minutes in 1 hour

First, multiply 25 with 24

25 x 24 = 600

Next, add 600 with 9 hours

600 + 9 = 690

Note that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. Divide 7 minutes with 60

7/60 = ~0.12 (rounded)

~690.12 hours is your answer

hope this helps
