Answer:
[tex]Total = 3\frac{1}{4}\ hours[/tex]

[tex]Saturday = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Sunday = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]
Required
Determine the total time spent
Total time is calculated as follows:
[tex]Total = Friday + Saturday + Sunday[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{5}{3} + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{20 + 9 + 10}{12}[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{39}{12}[/tex]
Divide numerator and denominator by 3
[tex]Total = \frac{13}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Total = 3\frac{1}{4}\ hours[/tex]
