    30 g butter, 15 g sugar, and 45 g flour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since each ingredient (120 grams butter, 60 grams sugar, 180 grams flour) makes 20 shortbread fingers, but we only want 5, which is 1/4 of 20, we need to cut everything down by a factor of 4 - in other words, divide them all by 4 to get the amount of each we need:

    - 120 g butter: 120 : 4 = 30 g butter

    - 60 g sugar: 60 : 4 = 15 g sugar

    - 180 g flour: 180 : 4 = 45 g flour

    Thus, the ingredient amounts she needs are: 30 g butter, 15 g sugar, and 45 g flour.
