First, find the hourly rate of each pipe.
The first pipe can fill the pool in 10 hours, so it can fill of the pool in 1 hour.
The second pipe can fill the pool in 6 hours, so it can fill of the pool in 1 hour.
Together, both pipes can fill of the pool in 1 hour.
Therefore, it will take hours for both pipes to fill the pool.
