A 5-gallon bucket is full of pure water. Suppose we begin dumping salt into the bucket at a rate of 1/4 pounds per minute. Also, we open the spigot so that 1/2 gallons per minute leaves the bucket, and we add pure water to keep the bucket full. If the salt water solution is always well mixed, what is the amount of salt in the bucket after:
a. 1 minute?
b. 10 minutes?
c. 60 minutes?
d. 1000 minutes?
e. a very very long time?

Answer and explanation:

1. In one minute, there would be zero pounds of salt in the bucket because there's 0.25 pounds of salt in one minute and 0.5 gallons of water leaves the bucket in same minute, eliminating the 0.25 pounds of salt.

2. In ten minutes there would be zero pounds of salt because theres 0.25×10= 2.5 pounds of salt and 0.5×10=5 gallons of water would leave the bucket, eliminating the salt.

3. In 60 minutes there would still be zero salt because water leaves the bucket more than salt enters

4. Zero salt too after bucket leaks

5. Zero salt
