I am not sure, but this is what I got:
<span>Pipe ALONE = 18 hours

Pipe ALONE in 1 hour = 1/18 of the pool

Hose ALONE in 1 hour = 1/25 of the pool

TOGETHER in 1 HOUR = 1/18 +1/25 = 43/450

TOGETHER they will fill the pool in 450/43 hours

So 5/6 of the pool will take 5/6 X 450/43 = 2250/ 258 = 8.7209302 hours OR

8 hours AND 43.26 minutes ANSWER
