Mike, Joe, and Bill are painting a fence. The painting can be finished if Mike and Joe work together for 4 hours and Bill works alone for 2 hours, or if Mike and joe work together for 2 hours and Bill works alone for 5 hours, or if Mike works alone for 6 hours, Joe works alone for 2 hours and bill works alone for 1 hour. How much time does it take each man working alone to complete the painting?

Scenario 1:

Mike: 2 Hours

Joe: 2 Hours

Bill: 2 Hours

Scenario 2:

Mike: 1 Hour

Joe: 1 Hour

Bill: 5 Hours

Scenario 3:

Mike: 6 Hours

Joe: 2 Hours

Bill: 1 Hour

By scenarios, I mean how it says “alone for 2 hours, OR if Mike..”, so there are different routes they can take to complete the painting, being realistic it takes more time throughout the scenarios perhaps because of their schedule? Let me know if this helps or not.
