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.?
