A tank contains 60 gallons of a solution composed of 85% water and 15% alcohol. A second solution containing half water and half alcohol is added to the tank at the rate of 4 gallons per minutes. At the same time, the tank is being drained at the same rate. Assuming that the solution is stirred constantly, how much alcohol will be in tank after 19minutes?

A tank initially contains 50 gal. of fresh water. Brine (water in which a certain number of pounds of salt have been dissolved), containing 2 lb/gal of salt, flows into the tank at the rate of 2 gal/min and the mixture kept uniform by stirring runs out at the same rate. How long will it take to increase from 40 lbs. to 80 lbs.?
Heating oil is to be poured at the constant rate of 4.5 gallons per minute into a 400-gallon tank that already contains 115 gallons of heating oil. What fraction of the tank’s total capacity will be full in 30 minutes?
A tank initially holding 80 gals of fuid with 40 lbs of salt has two sources of fluid being pumped in. One source is pumping pure water in at 8 gal/min and the second source is pumping in a salt solution of 0.5 Ibs/gal at 2 gal/min. The tank is emptying at 10 gal/min. Find the amount of salt in the tank after 30 minutes?
A tank contains 200 liters of fresh water. Brine containing 2.5 N/L of dissolved salt runs into the tank at the rate of 8 L/min and the mixture kept uniform by stirring runs out at 4 liters/min. What is the amount of salt when the tank contains 320 liters of brine? 487.5 N 287.5 N 387.5 N 416.7 N
A doctor asks a nurse to give a patient 150 milligrams (mg) of the drug simethicone. The drug is available only in a solution whose concentration is 24 mg simethicone per 0.6 milliliter (ml) of solution. How many milliliters of solution should the nurse give the patient?
A tank initially contains 60 gallons of pure water. Brine containing 1 lb of salt per gallon enters the tank at 2 gal/min, and the perfectly mixed solution leaves the tank at 3 gal/min; thus the tank is empty after exactly 1 h. Find the amount of salt in the tank after 20 minutes. (Round off to 4 decimal places and do not indicate the unit in the final answer.)
A water tank that initially contains 140 L of solution in which 20 g of salt was dissolved. A solution with a salt concentration of 4 g/L is added at a rate of 6 L/min. The solution is mixed well and was drained from the tank at a rate of 4 L/min. Find the answer for the following question. 1) Find the concentration of the solution in the tank after 30 minutes.
