Required equation :
Together they can paint the same room in 2.25 hours or 2 hours 15 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Dale Horton can paint a certain room in 3 hours.
One hour woks of Dale Horton = 1/3
Kathy Garcia can paint the same room in 9 hours.
One hour woks of Kathy Garcia = 1/9
Let together they can paint the same room in t hours.
One hour woks of both = 1/t
After reciprocal we get

0.25 hour = 15 minutes.
Therefore, together they can paint the same room in 2.25 hours or 2 hours 15 minutes.
