How long...? is frequently used to ask about the duration or time of an event or activity. It helps you know the amount of time something takes. For example:
How long is the meeting? - This means you want to know the length of the meeting, such as 30 minutes or 1 hour.
How long does it take to get to work? - This asks about the time needed to travel to work.
What is Tom asking with How long are our workdays?
The start time of the workday.
How long refers to length in time, not specific start times.
The duration of the workday.
The activities during the workday.
The question focuses on time duration, not specific activities.
The location of the workday.
Location is not related to the how long question.
