Solution to Fence Painting riddle
Two hours.
Alicia can complete 1/3 of the job in one hour and Mark can complete 1/6 of the job in one hour;
therefore, together they can complete 1/3 plus 1/6 or 1/2 of the job in one hour.
Consequently, the entire job can be completed in just two hours. Or, you can figure it by saying (a x b)/(a+b)=time spent.
