Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, i'm not entirely sure about the answer, but if the high school teacher can do it in 5 hours and if the teacher does it with the student teacher in 3 hours (2 hours less) then instead of subtracting add 2 hours to the student teacher which would be a total of 7 hours.
