As the other answer said, it depends on how you do using your data traffic. Based on your mention about "5G data", I can see you are talking about the total bytes of data through the 4G LTE network from your cell phone. 4G LTE provides both high speed data and voice traffic. The traffic is passing around in packets in LTE. Voice is in a separte channel called Voice over LTE (VoLTE). Other traffic is considered as data including data consumed when you browse the Internet, watch video, even making voice calls in Skype, Facetime, etc. When they calculate the usage, your ISP will blindly add all the data bytes that are passing through your cell phone except the VoLTE traffic which is separated counted as over-the-air minutes allowance.
It is very difficult even for your service provider to tell you how many minutes of internet usage with 5GB data. Again, this depends on how you use the internet. However we can estimate the worst case, that is, if you download at the maximum full speed, here is the rough calculated estimate based on the CNET's LTE throughput test report 4G LTE showdown: How fast is your carrier?. The CNET test is more than one year old. The following calculation is already factored in roughly 20% control packets that are counted by ISP but not by a regular throughput test.
The number of seconds to download 5GB data:
AT&T : 1816.96 seconds, that is, just over half hour, to consume all 5GB data
Verizon: 2165.78 seconds
Sprint: 16107.15 seconds, close to 4 and half hours, the slowest speed
T-Mobile: 1464.28 seconds, the fastest of the 4 ISPs.
These test files will be downloaded in full over your network connection from high speed servers. These files can be used to test your network download speed.
5 gb is 1024MB * 5 = 5120 MB so you have 5120 mb of data to use, now its up to how fast the data is consumed, that depends on the speed of your connection and the way you use data. here lets assume that you are watching a movie in youtube, now there are multiple formats with different quality to watch in youtube here is a standard comparison chart
Now to speed of data usage, lets consider that you are in a wifi network which has a capacity to deliver 10 Mbps(just assume) to you. and you are using data at a rate of 10 Mbps. now 1024 mb/10mbps= 102 seconds that is 1.7 minutes(not likely considering the loss and other transmissions from device) see the chart above. it will give you a vague idea. just like that depending on the quality and speed of your usage time will vary.
Note: All of our test files are randomly generated and don't contain any valuable information. For example, if you open a zip test file with 7zip or WinRAR, you may see a "File is corrupted" error.
