Explanation:

Per hour work of both = 2b + b = 3b
in 4 hours = 3b X 4 = 12b

Let's assume that b=1, so that Jim assembles 1 crane per hour. Then, Robert assembles 2 cranes per hour. Together they manage 3 cranes per 1 hour and, consequently, 12 cranes per 4 hours. Plugging b=1 into the answer choices, we arrive at D: 12*1 = 12

Let's apply some logic to solve this question

Given: Jim can assemble b crates in 1 hour
So: Jim can assemble 2b crates in 2 hours [if we double the work time, we double the output]
So: Jim can assemble 4b crates in 4 hours [if we double the work time (again), we double the output]

Given: Robert can assemble 2b crates in 1 hour
So: Robert can assemble 4b crates in 2 hours [if we double the work time, we double the output]
So: Robert can assemble 8b crates in 4 hours [if we double the work time (again), we double the output]

So, when we COMBINE their efforts, we add their 4-hour OUTPUTS
That is, TOTAL output = color=red]4b[/color] + color=red]8b[/color] = 12b

Answer: D

Cheers,
Brent

In 4 hours Jim and Robert can assemble b x 4 + 2b x 4 = 12b crates.

Answer: D
