It takes 5 hours for 3 guys to paint a house. The 3 guys paint for 3 hours and then 3 more guys help finish the house. How much time is saved and why?

One hour is saved. The three guys need two more hours to finish. If three more guys help them, it will cut the time in half. 3 guys * 5 hours = 1 house painted guy * hour = 1 hour of labor So it would take 15 hours of labor to paint a house. We need to assume houses take the same time to paint and each guy works at the same rate. 3 guys * 3 hours = 9 hours of labor 9 hours of labor + (3+3) guys * x hours = 15 hours of labor 9 + 6x = 15 x=1 Total time = 3 hours of 3man + 1 hour of 6 man = 4 hours time saved = 5-4 = 1 hour

Delbert can paint a fence by himself in 11 hours and Dorothy can paint the same fence in 12 hours How long will it take them to paint the fence if they work together?

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
