When Joana Mae, Precious Jewels and Molly Anne work together, they finish installing a garden in 3 days. The job could be completed if Joana Mae worked 4 days alone and Molly Anne worked 10 days alone, or if Precious Jewels worked 5 days alone and Molly Anne worked 3 days alone. How many days would it take each worker, alone, to complete the garden?

However, you state the hours working alone, but then ask how much it would take working alone. I'm confused on the last part. Can you clarify?
