The answer is 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

you will have to divide 3 by 6 which is 0.50, which is half. Half of an hour is 30 minutes. Then you times that by 6 which is 180. 180 minutes is 3 hours. 3 hours is the amount of time it takes for six people. Now for the real question you will have to times 180 by 3 because 6 is 2 times 3. 3 times 180 is 460. 460 is 9 hours.
