Challenge 306: Hours of Work

Thanks to Misha, Y12, for this problem

Two workers were given the job of making a batch of a certain car part. After the first worker had worked for 2h, and the second for 5h, they realised they had only completed half the task. Then after working together for another 3h, they calculated that they still had 5% of the whole task to complete. How long would it take each of them to complete the task, if they worked separately?
