Math Problem

There is a block in the city where two kids
Are going to school three days a week

Three kids go to school two days a week
And four kids are going four days but every other week
While zero kids are going five days a week
The days they are not in school are remote at home days
Given how harassed the parents are
Let each day of at home remote learning
Be the equivalent of a half a day in school
Factor in computer freezes and intervals needed for repairs
At one quarter hour off each half day in school
And an hour and a half for each day of remote learning
Using all you have learned thus far
About addition and subtraction, how many
Total hours of education have taken place on the block?
Please express your answer using decimals
And, for extra credit, in the metric system.
And don’t forget to show your work.
