Monday - 8:00 to 12:15 and then 12:45 to 5:00
4:15+4:15=8 h and 30 min
Tuesday - 7:45 to 11:30 and then 12:15 to 6:00
3:45+5:45=9 h +30 min
Wednesday - 7:15 to 12:30 and then 1:30 to 5:15
5:15+3:45=9 h
Thursday - 8:00 to 12:00 and then 12:45 to 5:30
4:00+4:15=8 h +15 min
Friday - 7:45 to 12:30 and then 1:15 to 7:15
4:15+6:00=10 h +15 min
Adds the number of hours
8 h and 30 min+9 h +30 min+9 h+8 h +15 min+10 h +15 min=44 h+90 min=45 h+30 min
=45.5 hours
