    First find how many planks there are:

    8 sections x 12 planks per section = 96 total planks.

    If 1 person can do 1 plank in 3 minutes, then 2 people can do 2 planks in 3 minutes.

    96 planks : 2 planks = 48 sections of 3 minutes.

    48 x 3 = 144 minutes

    144 : 60 = 2 hours 24 minutes
