Exhaust velocity of orbital mechanics

Assignment:

Question 1. A lunar landing craft needs to hover just above the surface of the moon, which has a gravitational acceleration of (1/6) g. The exhaust velocity is 2000m/s but fuel amounting to only 20% of the total mass can be used.

How long can the landing craft hover?
