The inlet pipe fills 1/5 of the tank per hour.

The outlet pipe empties 1/8 of the tank per hour.

While inletting and outletting simultaneously, (1/5 - 1/8) = (8/40 - 5/40) = 3/40 of the tank fills per hour.

Under those conditions, the tank fills in 40/3 = [ 13 and 1/3rd ] hours.

Given an empty tank and activating both pipes at 6 PM, the tank is full at 7:20 AM the next morning.
