Please help. I'm not really good at these kind of problems. Working alone, Dan can do a certain job in three hours and Stan can do the same job in two hours. At these rates, how long would it take Dan and Stan to do this job working together?

Answer: The answer is it would take Dan and Stan 1 hour if they work together, because 3-2=1, so make those hours and you have 1 hour.

Hope I helped:)
