Hint: We know that 60 seconds make a minute i.e. 60 seconds=1 minute. Use this first and convert the given data into minutes. Further, we know that 60 minutes make an hour i.e. 60 minutes=1 hour. So use this and convert the result into hours to get the final answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:
According to the question, we are asked to convert 9000 second into hours.
To do this, first we’ll convert 9000 seconds into minutes and then in hours.
We already know that 60 seconds make a minute i.e. 60 seconds=1 minute. So we can divide 9000 seconds by 60 to get the number of minutes. Thus we have:
9000 seconds=900060 minutes9000 seconds=150 minutes
Further, we know that 60 minutes make an hour i.e. 60 minutes=1 hour. Thus we can again divide the above result to convert it into hours. From this we’ll get:
9000 seconds=150 minutes=15060 hours9000 seconds=2.5 hours

Therefore 9000 seconds is equivalent to 2.5 hours.

Note:
We also know that 1 hour consists of 60×60 seconds:
1 hour=60×60 seconds
So we can also use this result directly instead of doing it in two steps as we did above. The answer will be same:
9000 seconds=900060×60 hours9000 seconds=90003600 hours9000 seconds=2.5 hours
It is also recommended to always keep in mind that there are 3600 seconds in an hour so that we can apply this result in such problems directly without investing much time doing it in steps.
