Hi everyone! Could you please help me understand where I am confused?
I used the work together formula: t1*t2 / t1 + t2
20*10/20+10 = 200 / 30 = 20/3
Then I multiplied by 3 given the 3 batches described -- (20/3)*3 = 60/3 = 20

The 20/3 you are getting there is time in minutes to create one batch when the cooks work together. So, for three batches, they will need 20/3 * 3 = 20 minutes, which is 1/3 of an hour.
