It is the most convenient number to choose because it is not a Prime number.

Incompatible. Terabyte is a measure of data, hours a measure of time.
It is a measure of time!
Kilometers measure distance; hours measure time- you can not convert distance to time. its just silly to try to convert measurement to time.
A broken ruler still has lines of measurement on it - it's just not as convenient as it was when it was whole. You measure the same way, by holding the ruler next to the item you're measuring and deciding which line it reaches to. With a broken ruler, you will probably have to measure one part at a time and add the measurements together.

Hours cannot be converted to km. Hours is a measure of time and km is a measure of distance.
Miles is a measure of length and distance and can not be compared with hours which is a measure of time.
Hours is a measure of time, miles is a measure of distance - the two can not be equated.
It has to be considered a measure of time because you do not say how many hours there are in a year, month or fortnight, you say days and so must be considered a measure of time. The same stands for seconds, minutes and hours, because are hours any less a measure of time because they are 60 minutes? No. The same stands for days, they consist of 24 hours and so therefore count as a measure of time.

None. They measure different things, hours are a measure of time, miles are a measure of linear distance. The time taken to cover 85 miles would depend on your speed
It isn't really, in the sense that the division of time into 24 equal segments aren't divisible into 10, as metric divisions of the three physical dimensions are. However if we go back to when the day was divided into 24 hour segments the numbering system of the Sumerians was based on the number 12. 12 hours in a day, 12 hours in a night. This system of the division of time continued through history to the present and was easily recognizable by all, as a measure of time, which makes it convenient in that different systems do not need to be calculated, or converted between each other. Sumeria relied heavily on trade and all their trading partners understood this division. In other words change is difficult, if it works stick with it.

By counting the hours...
