You can put this solution on YOUR website!
depends how big the tank is!
If the tank is 5 cubic meters then it will take 1 hour to fill.

If the tank is 10 cubic meters then it will take 2 hours to fill.
etc
we find the time by dividing the volume of the tank by the fill rate.
If the tank has a volume of x cubic meters, the time taken will be X%2F5 hours.
