In 15 minutes.
Jim can fill 1/2 of the pool in 15 minutes, Sue can fill 1/3, and Tony can fill 1/6 of the pool in 15 minutes. Thus, together they can fill the pool in 15 minutes.

In one minute: Jim fills 1/30, Sue fills 1/45 and Tony fills 1/90, so between them in 1 minute they fill 3/90 + 2/90 + 1/90 ie 6/90 or 1/15 so working together it will take 15 minutes.
