You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
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 . . . ".
