How to convert hours to Duration in Java

ConvertHoursToDurationExample1.java 

import java.time.Duration;

public class ConvertHoursToDurationExample1 {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        long numberOfHours = 789;

        // Convert number of hours to Duration
        Duration duration = Duration.ofHours(numberOfHours);

        System.out.println("Number of hours: " + numberOfHours);
        System.out.println("Duration: " + duration);
    }
}
The output as below. 
Number of hours: 789
