As learning ability varies, the number of flight hours ranges greatly between individuals. It could be anywhere between a few hours to 40 hours.

Those 35 hours must include a minimum of 20 hours of instruction time and 5 hours of solo flight. That threshold goes up to 40 hours in a part 61 flight school, though, including at least 20 hours of training and 10 hours of solo time. While training for your PPL, the difference between Part 141 and Part 61 is almost negligible.
How long does it take to fly a plane?
I think that’s do-able. A typical flight lesson is about 1.0-1.5 hours of “flight time”, with a pre-brief and post-brief to go over the lesson. If you do 2-3 of those you’ll be in the air somewhere between 2 and 5 hours, and spend another 1-2 hours on the ground.
How much time do you spend in the air?
If you do 2-3 of those you’ll be in the air somewhere between 2 and 5 hours, and spend another 1-2 hours on the ground. Add in time for lunch and stretching your legs between flights and you’ve filled an 8 hour day with training. How effective that training will be is a different story.
