Suppose Tank A has 30 gallons of water containing 55 oz (ounces) of dissolved salt, Tank B has 20 gallons of water containing 26 oz of dissolved salt and Tank C has 50 gallons of water without any salt. Water with salt concentration 1 oz/gal flows into Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min. Water flows in and out of tank A, B and C are as follows: Water with salt concentration 1 oz/gal flows into Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min. Water flows from Tank A to Tank B at a rate of 3 gal/min. Water flows from Tank B to Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min. Water flows from Tank B to Tank C at a rate of 3.5 gal/min. Water flows from Tank C to Tank B at a rate of 1 gal/min. Water drains from Tank C at a rate of 1.5 gal/min.

Suppose Tank A has 30 gallons of water containing 55 oz (ounces) of dissolved salt, Tank B has 20 gallons of water containing 26 oz of dissolved salt and Tank C has 50 gallons of water without any salt. Water with salt concentration 1 oz/gal flows into Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min. Water flows in and out of tank A, B and C are as follows: Water with salt concentration 1 oz/gal flows into Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min.
Water flows from Tank A to Tank B at a rate of 3 gal/min.
Water flows from Tank B to Tank A at a rate of 1.5 gal/min.
