Determine the total time spent
Total time is calculated as follows:
![Total = Friday + Saturday + Sunday](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/g20b1ewpdot5phetle696tj3x5abrfjpjb.png)
![Total = (5)/(3) + (3)/(4) + (5)/(6)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/cp6vw5wqvrvuzv9794j1chitzjn7a9wsmy.png)
![Total = (20 + 9 + 10)/(12)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/xl9g7yrzbynz170b6ba6lqf3mkdq688rx5.png)
![Total = (39)/(12)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/zqlhobuwbr5b9n2r5j2x09p293n6ee6k4e.png)
