A biologist examines a series of cells and counts 160 cells in interphase, 20 cells in prophase, six celis in
prometaphase, two cells in metaphase, seven cells in anaphase, and five cells in telophase. If the complete cell
cycle requires 24 hours, what is the average duration in hours of the M phase in these cells? (Answer in decimal
