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 3×2=63 \times 2 = 6 hours.

2. Calculate the average time each girl worked

The total computer time is shared equally among the 5 girls.
Average time per girl = 65=1.2\frac{6}{5} = 1.2 hours.

3. Convert the time into hours and minutes

1.21.2 hours = 11 hour and 0.2×600.2 \times 60 minutes = 11 hour 1212 minutes.

Answer

1 hour 12 minutes
