Answer:

31 hours

Explanation:

June and Stella can create 6 floral arrangements in one hour.

They take in 372 Valentine's Day order

No of hours = orders / (June's rate + Stella's rate)

June's rate = 6 arrangements / hour

Stella's rate = 6 arrangements / hour

June's rate + Stella's rate = 2(6 arrangements /hour)

= 12 arrangements / hour

No of hours = 372 arrangements / 12 arrangements / hour

= 31 hours

June and Stella have 31 hours to fulfill the 372 Valentine's Day order
