Hello, are you a former book editor at a publishing company ?


Believe me, we, the tutors, do not need such instructions as you place in your post.


We are not idiots . . .



Also  (and beside of it),  these instructions are not correct within their meaning:

        the answer should be given in years and months,  not in decimal numbers.


//////////


Excuse me for my words,  that may seem to be too sharp to you . . .


Simply saying,  I do not like,  when a person,  who is not a specialist in the subject,

suddenly gets into a position of a mentor and starts dictate to real experts.

Let me tell you one my story.


In  US,  I worked in several  Engineering companies for many years.


My managers/supervisors were knowledgeable people;
but no one,  even knowledgeable person can not be an experts in all areas,  at the same time.


So,  recognizing my skills,  expertise and knowledge,  my manager,  when a new project came,  always asked me,
calling me by my name:   "how we will solve it ?"


And I answered then :   "in this way,  and in this way,  and in this . . . ".
