Find the combined rate
1/6 + 1/4 = 5/12
The time it takes to fill it entirely is 12/5
Half of the pool required time is 6/5
for y alone it takes 4 hours to fill one pool.
So it takes 2 hours to fill half.
6/5 = 1 hour and 12 minutes
Total 3 hours 12 minutes

X alone 6h = work rate 1/6
Y alone 4h= work rate 1/4
X+Y together= 1/6+1/4= 4/24+6/24=10/24=5/12 --> so 15/2h for Pool (work rate* Time= Unit --> 5/12* X = 1 pool --> X(hours)=12/5=2h 24 min (Note: 12/5=2 2/5 --> 2 12*2/60 --> 2h 24/60 h --> 2h 24 min
Since X+Y only fill half of the pool together they take 1h 12 min for the first half.
Then, Y fills the remaining amount on his own. This takes him 2h (since he needs 4h for the complete pool)
Finally the total time is : XY working together time + Y alone time = 1h 12min + 2h = 3h 12min
Y alone 4h= work rate 1/4
X+Y together= 1/6+1/4= 4/24+6/24=10/24=5/12 --> so 15/2h for Pool (work rate* Time= Unit --> 5/12* X = 1 pool --> X(hours)=12/5=2h 24 min (Note: 12/5=2 2/5 --> 2 12*2/60 --> 2h 24/60 h --> 2h 24 min
Since X+Y only fill half of the pool together they take 1h 12 min for the first half.
Then, Y fills the remaining amount on his own. This takes him 2h (since he needs 4h for the complete pool)
Finally the total time is : XY working together time + Y alone time = 1h 12min + 2h = 3h 12min
