--blanks--

sixty hours per week

--feedback--

These four words show how much time something is used, following the structure: number + unit + per + time period.

--explanation--

The structure "number + unit + per + time period" is commonly used to express time spent on an activity. For example:

  • The backup runs 30 minutes per day. - The backup process takes 30 minutes daily.

  • The system runs for 20 hours per week. - The system works 20 hours every week.

Tom says the platform is used about 60 hours per week, meaning the team spends that amount of time using it each week.
