There are 3 workers at the Gold Trinkets Company. Two of the workers can each

make a trinket in 90 seconds. It takes the third worker 10 seconds longer to make a
trinket. How many total trinkets can the three workers make in one hour?

Answer:

Explanation:

So first let us break how much trinkets one worker can make and find out the time frame. So the first two workers each can make a trinket in 90 seconds, 90/2 is 45 (seconds) for 1 worker. And the third worker takes 10 seconds longer, so 45+10 is 55 seconds for the third worker to make 1 trinket. There are 60 minutes in a hour, 60x60(seconds) is 3600 seconds in an hour. But here we will have to do 3600/100, because we forget about the individual time and focus on the combined time. So we add 10 more to 90, and now get 3600/100, which gives us out result of 36 trinkets made in an hour

sorry it took long i burnt my brain for this one
