He would.

So we assume that any Team of Workers make one piece yielding the following equations:

(I) 2A+2B=1
(II) 3A+3C=1
(III) 4B+4C=1

(I) rearranges to (IV) B=(1/2)-A
(II) rearranges to (V) C=(1/3)-A

Setting (IV) and (V) into (III) gives us 4*((1/2)-A)+4*((1/3)-A)=1
solving that for A yields (VI) A=7/24

We now can fill in A into (IV) having B=5/24 and ...[text shortened]... f an hour to create the one item.

Lets hope that A gets the sevenfold amount of Money per hour 😉
