serious [3.7K]

There was no lunch

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given Person 1 work time = 5.8 hrs and Person 2 work time = 2.68 hours, and total work time = 8.48 hrs. Find the lunch time.

Person 1 work time + Person 2 work time = 5.8 + 2.68 = 8.48 hrs

Lunch time = Total work time - (Persons 1 + Person 2 work time)

= 8.48 - 8.48 = 0 hrs

∴ There was no lunch hour between their work.
