Final answer:
To find out how much longer it will take Ben and his friends to complete the season, we need to determine the number of episodes they have left to watch. They have 17 episodes left. They watch an average of 1.4 episodes per hour, so it will take them approximately 12.14 hours to complete the season.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how much longer it will take Ben and his friends to complete the season, we need to determine the number of episodes they have left to watch. Since they have already watched 7 episodes out of a total of 24, they have 24 - 7 = 17 episodes left to watch.
Since they have watched 7 episodes in 5 hours, we can find the average number of episodes they watch per hour by dividing the number of episodes by the number of hours: 7 episodes / 5 hours = 1.4 episodes per hour.
To find out how much longer it will take them to complete the season, we can divide the number of episodes they have left to watch by the average number of episodes they watch per hour: 17 episodes / 1.4 episodes per hour ≈ 12.14 hours.
