Answer 2

From 7:00 to 9:46 we see it passes 2 hours and 46 minutes.

But it started 6:58 . So we add +2 minutes. 46+2 = 48

2 hours and 48 minutes.

But we must find the second form.

1 hours = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

So, 2 hours = 120 minutes = 7200 seconds.

and 1 minutes = 60 seconds

48 minutes = 60 x 48 = 2880 seconds.

7200 + 2880 = 10080 seconds.
