Answer:

Lynn can pick nine baskets in three hours

Explanation:

Anne and Mary pick 9 Baskets an hour

so in a half an hour they pick 4 and a half.

But it says they pick 6 together so lynn picked one and a half baskets in a half an hour

so over an hour she picks three

and over three hours she picks nine.
