# Eight hours

Brigadier Franta ties a sheaf of hay in 20 minutes. Lujza in the same time only a quarter. How many sheaves will they tie together in 8 hours?

Correct result:

s =  30

#### Solution:

$f=20 \ \text{min} \ \\ l=4 \cdot \ f=4 \cdot \ 20=80 \ \text{min} \ \\ \ \\ t=8 \ h \rightarrow min=8 \cdot \ 60 \ min=480 \ min \ \\ \ \\ s=t/f+t/l=480/20+480/80=30$
