Reasoning and answer: First convert the 2 - year sentence to months: 2 years * 12 months / year = 24 months. Then add the 3 months for assault: 24 months + 3 months = 27 months. Then find how long the 1 / 3 extension is: 27 months / 3 = 9 months. Finally, add up the three lengths of time to find the total sentence length: 27 months + 9 months = 36 months.
The answer: 36
