To find out how many hours of tutoring Kimi will be able to provide to other students this month, we need to subtract the hours she will be spending on the two students she mentioned.
Kimi will be tutoring the first student for 14 hours and the second student for 38 hours.
So, Kimi will be spending a total of 14 + 38 = 52 hours on these two students.
Since Kimi has a total of 40 hours each month for tutoring, she will only have 40 - 52 = -12 hours left for other students.
However, it is not possible to have negative hours, so the answer is 0 hours.
