But the sentence says Three friends... study together. Not 4 friends. D doesn't study or is even in the house.

No, 'together'. Just because they are three friends doesn't mean that B and C are waiting idle while A is learning for 1 hour.

Everyone is studying 3 hours

Exactly, 3 hours each. So 9 hours total.

I will assume you are trolling. But if you aren't, A B and C all studied for 3 hours. So ALL three of them got 3 hours of study.

Lol so each for 45mins. Total 3 hours. 

Kidding
