Micah is a busy college student. He carries a full load of classes and works a full time job to support himself financially while in college. Last semester, his total number of hours between job and classes each week usually amounted to about 80 hours. He has decided that he cannot do so many hours each week this semester. He feels that he has to cut back to about 80% as many hours. If half of his hours are to be school hours, how many school hours will he spend each week this semester?
