1. Calculate the total computer time available
Since 3 girls are working on the computer at any one time for 2 hours, the total computer time available is hours.
2. Calculate the average time each girl worked
The total computer time is shared equally among the 5 girls.
Average time per girl = hours.
3. Convert the time into hours and minutes
hours = hour and minutes = hour minutes.
