Answer:

6 hours 57 minutes

Explanation:

To find the average, we add up all the numbers and then divide by the toal number of numbers

Add them up

7 hours 12 minutes on Monday,

6 hours 46 minutes on Wednesday,

6 hours 53 minutes on Friday

----------------------------------

19 hours 111 minutes

But there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so we subtract 60 minutes and add 1 hour

19 hours 111 minutes

+ 1 hour - 60 minutes

---------------------------

20 hours 51 minutes

We added 3 terms together so we divide by 3

20 /3 = 6 2/3 hours

51/3 = 17 minutes

But 2/3 hours needs to be changed to minutes

2/3 * 60 = 40 minutes

6 2/3 hours = 6 hours 40 minutes

Add the hours and minutes together

6 hours 40 minutes

17 minutes

-----------------------------

6 hours 57 minutes
