1 day every 2 weeks |
20 days per year |
4 weeks per year |
Nearly 1.5 years |
|
1 day per week |
40 days per year |
8 weeks per year |
Over 2.5 years |
|
2 days per week |
80 days per year |
16 weeks per year |
Over 5 years |
|
10 mins per day (arriving late) |
50 mins per week |
Nearly 1.5 weeks per year |
