1- It’s an automatic activity
2-There are two senior resident students, but in a current time only one of them is working.
3-4-5 The current available time (in total) for these activities is: a. = 1440; b. 1440; c. = 720. But since Paediatric Orthopaedic Clinic use these activities only 2/3 of the total time they are available we have these numbers: a. = 960; b. 960; c. = 480
