The Answer would be 288 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have 9 people working to install a security system in an office building. they take about 96 minutes.

Today we have 3 people doing the same job.

yesterday we had 9 people doing the same job

so we would multiply 96 minutes by 3 because we divided the amount of people by 3

96x3 = 288

3 people takes 288 minutes to do the same job.
