41*50/(41+50)=2050/91 OR 22.53 ITEMS PER HOUR BY BOTH MACHINES.
THEREFORE TO GET 182 ITEMS IT WILL REQUIRE 182/22.53 HOURS OR 8.08 HOURS

The answer isn't this complicated. If one machine can produce 41 items per hour while the another can produce 50 items an hour, then together they can produce 41 + 50 items per hour---or 91 items per hour. Therefore, to produce 182 items the machines would need to run 182/91 hours or 2 hours.
