The first hose can fill the pool in 3 days, so it can fill of the pool in one day. The second hose can fill of the pool in one day.

Together they can fill of the pool in one day, so they can fill the pool in of a day. Presuming a day is 24 hours, because garden hoses don't ordinarily have to eat, sleep, or use the restroom, then hours. But .8 hour is minutes, so the total time is 1 day, 4 hours, and 48 minutes.
