I don't think there is enough facts presented here.
1.  The actual time for both girls working together is not given.
2.  The time to complete the job is not given
3  The time Emily takes is not given except we know that she would take longer working alone than Greta, in other words greater than two hours.
4.  It is not stated how more efficient Greta is than Emily.
5.  The key would be how long would it take Emily on her own.

If Emily took 4 hr alone then her and Greta could get it done in 80 minutes, if it took her 2.5 hrs, then it could be done 1.111 hr.  I don't see where the information this given

The fact they have volunteered to do it in three hours and Greta can accomplish the job in 2 hours is just clutter.
