Joe paints 1 room in six hours so he paints 1/6 room per hr
With Manny, they paint the room in two hours, so Joe has painted 2hrs*(1/6 room/hr) or 1/3 of the room. Manny has painted the remaining two thirds in two hours, so he paints one third room per hour, so Manny can paint the entire room by himself in three hours.
