Shirley will take 8 hours to complete mowing the field alone.

We are given that Shirley and Pam, working together, can mow the lawn in 6 hours.

So, work done if 1 hour together = 1 / 6

Also, we are given that Pam takes three times as long as Shirley when she works alone.

Time taken by Pam = 3 times Time taken by Shirley.

Let the time taken by Shirley be y.

Job done in 1 hour = 1 / y

Time taken by Pam = 3 y

Job done in 1 hour = 1 / 3y

ATQ:

1 / y + 1 / 3 y = 1 / 6

4 / 3 y =1 / 6

24 = 3 y

y = 24 / 3

y = 8 hours.

Therefore, Shirley will take 8 hours to complete mowing the field alone.
