Homeworks not allowed. Try it yourself and when you are stuck at some point, come back with the issue.
Also, use better thread titles that describe your problem. And give more information about the problem.

Your first question is vague. For the second one, I think the time man page will get you going.

Moderator note:
Title changed to tell something about the problem(s).

Also, it looks like a homework question. How have you tried to find your answers?

Not sure if this is what you are referring to in #1

Code:

ls | pr -3 -h "Homework" -n  -w 65 -o 10 | less
