Course Break-down
Since the each course per class is 2 hours and 30 minutes per day and participants attend that class 3 times per week, we can calculate the number of hours attended for a week and a month as follows:
Duration |
Hours Attended Per Class |
Hours Attended Per Day |
Hours Attended per week (3 days) |
Hours Attended Per Month (4 weeks) |
Hours Attended for 6 Months (24 weeks) |
Per class |
2 hours 30 minutes |

Explanation of the Table:
Per Class: Each class is 2 hours and 30 minutes long.
Per Day: Each day consists of one class, which is 2 hours and 30 minutes long.
Per Week (3 days): Participants attend classes for 3 days each week, with each class being 2 hours and 30 minutes. Therefore, they spend a total of 7 hours and 30 minutes in class per week.
Per Month (4 weeks): Participants attend classes for 3 days each week, for a total of 12 days in a month. With each class being 2 hours and 30 minutes, participants spend a total of 30 hours in class per month.
Per 6 Months (24 weeks): Over a span of 6 months, with 3 days of classes each week, participants attend a total of 72 classes. With each class being 2 hours and 30 minutes, participants spend a total of 180 hours in class over 6 months. Calculation of the hours:
Number of Hours Attended for a Week:
2 hours 30 minutes * 3 days = 7 hours 30 minutes
Number of Hours Attended for a Month (4 weeks):
7 hours 30 minutes * 4 weeks = 30 hours
Number of Hours Attended for 6 Months (24 weeks):
7 hours 30 minutes * 24 weeks = 180 hours
So, for a week, participants will attend a total of 7 hours and 30 minutes of classes, for a month (assuming 4 weeks in a month), they will attend a total of 30 hours of classes, and for 6 months, participants will attend a total of 180 hours of classes.
