Each hour,
x makes b/6 bearings
y makes b/4 bearings
z makes b/3 bearings
Together, each hour, x, y and z together make
b/6+b/4+b/3=b(1/6+1/4+1/3)=b(2/12+3/12+4/12)=b(3/4)=3b/4 bearings.
Time to make b bearings =
b/(3b/4)=4/3 hours = 1 hour 20 minutes.
The answer to this question would be 1/8 or in decimal form it would be 0.125. hopefully this helps with your question.
You can use either of these, depending on your teacher.
