Since the volume of the water in the tank is 33500 liters

Since the rate of the leak of the water is 20 liters per hour

Then to find the number of hours that needs to make the tank empty,

Divide the volume by the rate


\begin{gathered} T=(volume)/(rate) \\ T=(33500)/(20) \\ T=1675\text{ hours} \end{gathered}

It will take 1675 hours to empty the tank
