Something is wrong with this problem.

If Mang Lorenzo did 2 hours of a 3-hour job, he hdid of the job, leaving the other of the job unfinished.
If Aling Tina did that of the job in hours (1 hour and 30 minutes), it would take Aling Tina 3 times as long to do the entire mowing job.
That would be
= 4 hours and 30 minutes.
That is not 2 hours and 22 minutes.
