Answer 1

Looks like other solutions are for non-edited code, for problem in current edited code & problem, you can just remove that statement which prints "1 hour" like:

for(hours=1;hours<=24;hours++);
//if (hours==1){System.out.println("1 hour");}
{System .out.println (hours + " hours");}

Or

for(hours=1;hours<=24;hours++){}
//if (hours==1){System.out.println("1 hour");}
{System .out.println (hours + " hours");}

//you can remove that statement printing "1 hour" which I showed in single-line comment, also there is no need to put statement 'System .out.println (hours + " hours");' in braces {}.

Answer 2

Your code posts 1 to 24, as you wanted.

What's the question?

Answer 3

I ran your code and it outputs:

1 hours
2 hours
3 hours
.............
24 hours

It didn't print "25 hours". Have you found a solution that it now works as expected?

Answer 4

Is it your question why prints 25 hours?

If this is your question, because loop is considered within the second sentence of the print.
