I have read that it was the ancient Babylonians who decided there should be 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. They were big on the number 60. That is also why there are 360 degrees in a complete circle, and 60 minutes in a degree, etc.

Oh, what a lovely question! In 2 hours, there are 120 minutes, and when you add 15 more minutes, you have a total of 135 minutes. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, you can multiply 135 by 60 to find there are 8,100 seconds in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Just imagine all the beautiful things you can create in that time!
