The of hours between 9:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. are;

`\begin{array}{ccc}From \ 9:00 \, A.M. & to \ 10:00\, A.M. & = 1 \, Hour\\From \ 10:00 \, A.M. & to \ 11:00\, A.M. & = 1 \, Hour\\From \ 11:00 \, A.M. & to \ 12:00 \, P.M. & = 1 \, Hour\\From \ 12:00 \, P.M. & to \ 1:00 \, P.M. & = 1 \,Hour\\From \ 1:00 \, P.M. & to \ 2:00 \, P.M. & = 1 \,Hour\\From \ 2:00 \, P.M. & to \ 3:00 \, P.M. & = 1 \,Hour\\From \ 3:00 \, P.M. & to \ 4:00 \, P.M. & = 1 \,Hour\\From \ 4:00 \, P.M. & to \ 4:30 \, P.M. & = 0.5 \, Hour \end{array}`

Sum of the hours Harold Crispen spends at the workplace on a workday = (1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0.5) hours = 7.5 hours

The time Harold Crispen take for launch each workday = 0.5 hour

The number of hours Harold Crispen spend working each day = (7.5 - 0.5) hour

The number of hours Harold Crispen spend working each day = 7.0 hours/day

The number of days he worked = Monday + Tuesday + Thursday = 3 days

The total hours he worked = (The number of hours he works each day) × (The number of days he worked)

His total hours he worked = 7.0 hours/day × 3 days = 21.0 hours.
