Hose \(A\) runs at a constant rate and can fill an \(11,000\)-gallon pool in \(44\) hours. How much less time would it take to fill the pool if Hose \(A\) and Hose \(B\) ran simultaneously at their respective constant rates?

(1) Both Hose \(A\) and Hose \(B\) can fill the same fraction of the pool in one hour.
(2) It takes Hose \(B\) twice as long to fill the pool as it takes Hose \(A\) and Hose \(B\) running simultaneously to fill the pool.
