Delbert can paint the fence in 11 hours so in 1 hour Delbert paints 1/11 of a fence.

Similarly, in 1 hour Dorothy paints 1/12 of a fence.

So together, in 1 hour they paint 1/11 + 1/12 = 12/132 + 11/132 = 23/132 of a fence.

So to paint the fence together they would need 1 / (23/132) = 132/23 hours = 5.74 hours
