Niki usually leaves her cell phone on. If her cell phone is on but she is not actually using it, the battery will last for 24 hours. If she is using it constantly, the battery will last for only 3 hours. Since the last recharge, her phone has been on 9 hours, and during that time she has used it for 60 minutes. If she doesn't talk any more but leaves the phone on, how many more hours will the battery last?
