What is the difference between how long does it take? and how many hours does it take? ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
- English (US)
They are similar expressions, and can be used in the same context! There is a small difference though. When it comes to “How long does it take?” you would normally ask this in a doctors office, or a restaurant, etc. For “How many hours does it take?” can be used more often for repairs, or asking your mum when she’ll be back.
