    Michelle can paint one car in 2 hours. It takes Tyler 3 hours to paint the same car while Colton takes 6 hours to paint the car. If they all work together, how long will it take them to paint the car?

    Setup unit rates:
    • Michelle can paint 1/2 of the car in one hour
    • Tyler can paint 1/3 of the car in one hour
    • Colton can paint 1/6 of the car in one hour

    In one hour using a combined effort, they can paint:
    1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1 car in one hour.
