d) 1 hour

Answer 1

Rosa and Devon can assemble all eight tables in 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To assemble all eight tables, Rosa and Devon can do it in half the time it would take one person. So, if it originally took one person 8 hours to assemble all the tables, Rosa and Devon can do it in half the time, which would be 4 hours.
