Respuesta :

Let:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\text{ Time spent by every sister} \\ x+x+x+x+x=3 \\ \frac{3}{5}=c \\ c=\text{total number of hours the girls spent cleaning} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solving for c:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{5}=c \\ \text{ Solve for }c\colon \\ \frac{3}{5}=0.6 \\ c=0.6h=36\min \end{gathered}[/tex]
