Answer:

1 hour 12 minutes or 1.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You add fractions to get this.

1 room/3 hours + 1 room / 2 hours = 1 room / x

0.33333333+0.5 = 1 room / x

0.83333333 = 1 / x    Multiply both sides by x

0.83333333x  = 1      Divide by 0.8333333

x = 1/0.833333

x = 1.2 hours or

x = 1 hour and 12 minutes
