Answer: 8100 seconds

======================================================

Work Shown:

1 hour = 60 minutes

2 hours = 120 minutes (multiply both sides by 2)

1/4 hour = 15 minutes (divide both sides of the first equation by 4)

2 & 1/4 hours = 2 hours + 1/4 hour

2 & 1/4 hours = 120 minutes + 15 minutes

2 & 1/4 hours = 135 minutes

---------------------

1 minute = 60 seconds

135 minutes = 8100 seconds (multiply both sides by 135)

2 & 1/4 hours = 8100 seconds
