Answer:

8 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, it normally takes her 8 hours but you subtract 2 hours now. So she works for 6 hours and the other clerk 10.

6+10=16

Then you divide 16 by two because you are dividing the amount of work they must complete.

16/2=8

I believe it will take them a total of 8 hours.
