It follows that John can do 12\frac{1}2 part of the job per one day, Peter can do 13\frac{1}3 part of the job per one day, and Danny can do 16\frac{1}6 part of the job per one day. Taking into accounrt that 12+13+16=3+2+16=66=1,\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}3+\frac{1}6=\frac{3+2+1}{6}=\frac{6}{6}=1,

we conclude that it will take one day all of them together to finish the job.
