Rational Expression Long Answer Question

[XxBubbleGummxX]

The question says: With a large tractor, a field can be polughed in 6 hours. It takes 10 hours using a small tractor. How long will it takes to plough the field using both tractors?

I understand what the question is asking but I dont understand how to set up the question. We've done similar questions in class but not one like this.
