    2.4 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    David's time = 6 hours

    Anthony's time = 4 hours

    the combined time is given by the following formula

    1 / (david's time) + 1 / (anthony's time) = 1/total time

    1/6 + 1/4 = 1/Total

    4/24 + 6/24 = 1/Total

    10/24 = 1 / total (taking reciprocal of both sides)

    24/10 = total

    total time = 24/10 = 2.4 hours
