I think it's 4hours and five minutes this is what i did to find out that. First sink 1 1/3 so i took the 3 out of 1/3 and divide 60 because of a hour and got 20 minutes so 1/3 = 20 minutes because there was only, total 1hour and 20 mins1. Sink 2, 2 3/4 so i divide 4 into 60 and got 15, since there where 3 in 3/4 i add and got 45mins, total 2 hours and 45 mins. then i add all of it up and got 4 hours a 5 mins
