ANSWER

Paul and Matt will take
9.9 \: \: hours
to install the floor working together.

EXPLANATION

First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

= \frac{1}{18}

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,
= \frac{1}{22}

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took
x \: hours
to do the work together.

Then, the rate of working together is,

= \frac{1}{x}

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{22} = \frac{1}{x}

Simplify the left hand side

\frac{11 + 9}{198} = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{20}{198} = \frac{1}{x}

We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

\frac{198}{20} = \frac{x}{1}

x = 9.9 \: hours
