jQuery substitute for multiple hovers

Question

I would like to find a more efficienct way to use jQuery for my question and answer page.

Here is the code which I want to change. If a .q_container is clicked, I want its corresponding answer div will slide down.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#qc1').hover(
        function () {
            $('#a1').slideDown('fast');
        }, 
        function () {
            $('#a1').slideUp('fast');
        }
    );
    $("#qc2").hover(
        function () {
            $('#a2').slideDown('fast');
        }, 
        function () {
            $('#a2').slideUp('fast');
        }
    );
    $("#qc3").hover(
        function () {
            $('#a3').slideDown('fast');
        }, 
        function () {
            $('#a3').slideUp('fast');
        }
    );
});

All of my Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
* {
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
}
body {
    background-color: black;
}
#container {
    width:1000px;
    min-height: 500px;
    background-color: #3b3b3b;
    padding: 10px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}
.q_container {
    width:300px;
}
.question {
    border-radius: 5px 5px 0px 0px;
    width:300px;
    height:30px;
    background-color: red;
    padding: 4px;
}
.answer {
    border-radius: 0px 0px 5px 5px;
    width:300px;
    height:100px;
    display:none;
    background-color: blue;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 4px;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#qc1').hover(
        function () {
            $('#a1').slideDown('fast');
        }, 
        function () {
            $('#a1').slideUp('fast');
        }
    );
    $("#qc2").hover(
        function () {
            $('#a2').slideDown('fast');
        }, 
        function () {
            $('#a2').slideUp('fast');
        }
    );
    $("#qc3").hover(
        function () {
            $('#a3').slideDown('fast');
        }, 
        function () {
            $('#a3').slideUp('fast');
        }
    );
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

            It is a way to discover something.
        </div>
    </div>
    <div style="width:300px;height:10px;"></div>

    <div class="q_container" id="qc2">
        <div class="question">
            What is a question2?
        </div>
        <div class="answer" id="a2">
            It is a way to discover something2.
        </div>
    </div>
    <div style="width:300px;height:10px;"></div>

    <div class="q_container" id="qc3">

Use classes instead of id's

 $('.question').hover(
    function () {
        $(this).find('.answer').slideDown('fast');
    }, 
    function () {
        $(this).find('.answer').slideUp('fast');
    }
);
