Find how many seconds are left.
We know that 2 hours contain:
2 × 3,600= 7,200 seconds
We started with 9,700 seconds. Subtract the seconds we've already used:
9,700 − 7,200= 2,500 seconds
That leaves 2,500 seconds after counting the 2 full hours.
Final answer
9,700 seconds = 2 hours and 2,500 seconds
