Painting a House Three painters (Beth, Dan, and Edie), working together, can paint the exterior of a home in 10 hours (h). Dan and Edie together have painted a similar house in $15 \mathrm{~h}$. One day, all three worked on this same kind of house for $4 \mathrm{~h},$ after which Edie left. Beth and Dan required 8 more hours to finish. Assuming no gain or loss in efficiency, how long should it take each person to complete such a job alone?
