Answer 1

Answer:

20 hours required to fill remaining portion

Answer 2

It would take 28-8 =20 hours to finish filling the water tank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours = 8 hours

So, to fill $\dfrac{2}{7}$ of capacity of tank , it takes 8 hours

To fill full capacity of tank , it would take

$8\div \dfrac{2}{7}\\\\=8\times \dfrac{7}{2}\\\\=4\times 7\\\\=28$

So, to fill the full tank, it would take 28 hours.

Hence, it would take 28-8 =20 hours to finish filling the water tank.
