Hey there! โณ๐ Two and a half hours. Explanation: It is not really a question of grammaticality, one way is just more common than the other. Hence, both forms are acceptable. The common trend is two and a half hours, which means 2 hours + half an hour. Hope itโs crashed now๐๐๐ก๐ซ
You can use both, but "two and a half hours" is more commonly used and it sounds more natural.

Two and a half hours is the correct one
Two and a half hours is the correct way to publish a time frame. You are mentioning both the minutes and the hours before Finnishing with the hours. When we tell the time we never start with the hours. We start with the minutes and Finnish with the hours. Like the clock dial says. Big hand small hand.

- Hello everyone๐ Let's think about this question: How can we improve as a society and a community?Hanane HabbouchiJan 29, 20:28
Best answer
A society and community are the collections of small families. When we talk about improving society, the fact seems questionable as if from where to take the gear, what should one stand for and what should he or she let pass. Thus, focusing on the basic unit of society that are our homes can make the betterment start right away. The question we need to ask ourselves is, Am I understanding and loving enough partner? Am I too harsh on my kids that they try to find escape from the family and build trusting bonds outside. The love and care you can give is under your control, not the one that you receive. In my opinion, starting from ourselves and then our homes can kick gear the process of improving societies automatically.
