How long did Armand work? ** Armand = (1/3) * 12 = <<(1/3)*12=4>>4 hours
How long did Ella work? ** Ella = 2 * 12 = <<2*12=24>>24 hours
How long did Amber, Armand and Ella work? ** Total hours = 12 + 4 + 24 = <<12+4+24=40>>40 hours
How many hours did the 3 people work in total? ** They worked a total of 40 hours.
