Please help me break this down step by step?

Answer:
The first machine completes 1/4 of the job per hour.
The second machine completes 1/3 of the job per hour.
Together they complete 1/4 + 1/3 of the job per hour.
1/4 + 1/3
= 3/12 + 4/12
= 7/12
If they complete 7/12 of the job per hour, then it will take them 12/7 hours to complete 1 job.
Inverting you get the number of hours.
12/7 = 1 5/7
Once you know the method, you can use the shortcut. If one machine takes A hours and the second takes B hours, together they will take:
. AB
---------
A + B
A = 3
B = 3
= (3 * 4) / (3 + 4)
= 12/7
= 1 5/7 hours
