    First let's find out how much it takes to shear one sheep.

    Do a proportion

    3/5 = x/60 (1 hour = 60 mins)

    Cross multiply and divide

    60 x 3 = 180

    180 divided by 5 is 36

    So it takes her 36 minutes for one sheep

    36 x 4 = 144

    144 divided by 60

    Answer would be 2 hours and 24 minutes
