Suppose that a tank with a capacity of 90 gallons initially contains 60 gallons of pure water. A salt solution containing 4 pounds of salt per gallon is allowed to into the tank at a rate of 45 gal/min, and the well stirred mixture is then removed at a rate of 30 gal/min, as shown in the figure. The process is continued unt the tank is filled (see figure below).
