72 minutes

We require their hourly rate of work

Maria cleans \frac{1}{2} the house in 1 hour

Sasha cleans \frac{1}{3} of the house in 1 hour

let x be the time it takes both to clean the house

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{x}

multiply through by 6x

3x + 2x = 6

5x = 6 ⇒ x = \frac{6}{5}

Together they can clean the house in 72 minutes
