He works 24 hours.
In Egypt, schools are open for six months.
3. Is more difficult, it could be "We played a video game for between 2 and 4 hours." or "We played a video game from 2 o'clock until 4 o'clock".

Excuse me, but I thought that "a two-hour video game" was a video game that lasted 2 hours.
+ the 1st sentence lacks the article "a" and the hyphen.
He has a twenty-four-hour job.
For the rest, they are all correct.

I meant grammatically!
But thanks for the valuable information! :-|
