Answer:

20 minutes

Explanation:

So the question is how many minutes does it take to fill the pond. If I'm not right leave a not.

W = T * rate

R = 35 Liters / minute

W = the amount needed to be filled. = 700 L

T = time to fill the pond

700 = 35 L / minute * T Divide by 35

700 / 35 = T

T = 20 minutes
