Is it correct that simply the duration itself can express a duration in specific time frame, and 'pendant' is optional? For example:
1) J'étais là pendant 45 minutes = J'tais là 45 minutes
2) Je me brosse les dents trois minutes à chaque fois = Je me brosse les dents pendant trois minutes à chaque fois
3) Nous sommes restés à Tokyo pendant 10 jours = Nous sommes restés à Tokyo 10 jours
4) Combien de temps vous avez resté = Pendant combien de temps vous avez resté?

Both 'shampoing' and 'shampooing' are formally accepted and used spellings, but the latter is being 'corrected' to the former here.
A 'bottle' of shampoo is mostly advertised and sold as 'un flacon' - ' j'ai fini le flacon ' is not accepted as correct though.
