Each person has 360 minutes, so each can spend 180 minutes on each product. Andia can produce 3 bushels of wheat and 3 pounds of beef in 60 minutes each, so in 180 minutes, she can produce 9 bushels of wheat and 9 pounds of beef. Zardia can produce 2 bushels of wheat and 5 pounds of beef in 60 minutes each, so in 180 minutes, she can produce 6 bushels of wheat and 15 pounds of beef. Therefore, the total production is 15 bushels of wheat and 24 pounds of beef. (9+6=15, 9+15=24)
