thnx but how did u find out the answer if u cud provide me the whole solution

 

[Silent Hunter]

workers : boxes : time (hours)
12 : 500 :3
16 : 300 : unknown
12 multiplied by 300 multiplied by 3 = 10800
16 multiplied by 500 multiplied by unknown = 8000 unknown

unknown = 1.35 hours = 1.35 multiplied by 60 = 81 minutes .
