Question 310012
The first step would be to find the hourly rate at which each person can paint the car.
If Jay can paint the car in six hours, then he can paint{{{1/6}}} of the car in one hour.
If Mike can paint the same car in three hours, then he can paint{{{1/3}}} of the car in one hour.
Working together, they can paint{{{1/6 + 1/3 = 3/6}}} or {{{1/2}}} of the car in one hour.
So, it would take them two hours to paint the entire car.
