First, find out how many liters are yet to be filled:
52,00013,000=39,000
To find out how much time is left, divide the amount yet to be filled by the rate, which is given:
39,00090433.33 minutes
Convert to hours by dividing by 60:
433.3360=7,22hours
It will take 7,22 hours for the water tower to get filled.
