Answer:

He is watching TV for 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Explanation:

We are given that the episodes of a TV program are each 40 minutes long. Phill watches four episodes together.

As it is stated that the length of each episode of a TV program is 40 minutes, so the length of four episodes is given by;

1 episode = 40 minutes

4 episodes = 4
* 40

= 160 minutes

So, the length of four episodes together is 160 minutes.

Now, we have to convert the time in hours and minutes;

As we know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

160 minutes = 120 minutes + 40 minutes

= 2 hours + 40 minutes

Hence, the length of four episodes together is 2 hours and 40 minutes.
