Given data:

The total numbers of shirts are T=40.

The fraction of total shirts ironed in week days are,

[tex](1-\frac{1}{4})T=\frac{3}{4}T[/tex]

The expression for shirt ironed in each week day is,

[tex]\frac{1}{5}(\frac{3}{4}T)=\frac{3}{20}T[/tex]

The number of shirts ironed on thursday and friday is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(\frac{3}{20}T)=\frac{3}{10}T \\ =\frac{3}{10}(40) \\ =12 \end{gathered}[/tex]
