Answer: 2.9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Rate of filing the tank = 12 gallons per minute

Total volume of reservoir = 35 gallons

Time taken to fill the reservoir = $\dfrac{\text{Total volume of reservoir }}{\text{Rate of filing the tank}}$

$=\dfrac{35}{12}\approx2.9$

hence, time taken to fill the reservoir = 2.9 minutes.
