Sally (1 person) took 5 hours. how long will it take 3 people?

5 hours / 3 people = 5/3 = 1 2/3

The answer is B


Answer:

Option B. \(1\frac{2}{3}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sally takes time to clean the house = 5 hours

If Sally and her two friends do the job at the same rate,

The time for the same work done by 3 people  = time taken by one / number of people

=\(\frac{5}{3}\)

= \(1\frac{2}{3}\)

It will take \(1\frac{2}{3}\) hours to clean the house by 3 people.
