    Volume of the first aquarium = (12" x 13" x 14") = 2,184 inches³

    Volume of the second aquarium = (32" x 34" x 35") = 38,080 inches³

    The second aquarium has (38,080 / 2,184) = 17.44 times as much

    volume as the first aquarium has.

    So it'll take the hose 17.44 times as long to fill the second one

    = (17.44) x (2 minutes) = 34.9 minutes.
