l=1/2 sheep/hour
w=1/3
d=1/6

1/2+1/3+1/6 = 1 sheep/hour

So, I get:

a. 60 minutes

And I get:
Lion can eat 1 sheep in 2 hours, or 3 sheep in 6 hours
Wolf can eat 1 sheep in 3 hours, or 2 sheep in 6 hours
Dog can eat 1 sheep in 6 hours

So, together, they can eat 6 sheep in 6 hours, or, 1 sheep in 1 hour.
