If Elon and Jeff work together, they can finish the work in 3 hours. If Jeff works together with Bruce, they can make this work done in 6 hours. Elon and Bruce can finish this work in 4 hours. How much time would it take to finish the work if all three worked together?

Answer:

It would take 1.5 hours for all three to finish the work if they worked together.

Explanation:

Elon and Jeff can complete the work in 3 hours.

Jeff and Bruce can complete the work in 6 hours.

Elon and Bruce can complete the work in 4 hours.

3 + 6 + 4 = 13

13 / 3 = 4.33

4.33 / 3 = 1.44
