1. A tank contains 1000 liters (L) of a solution consisting of 100 kg of salt dissolved in water. Pure water is pumped into the tank at the rate of 5 L/s, and the mixture – kept uniform by stirring – is pumped out at the same rate. How long will it be until only 10 kg of salt remains in the tank?

A tank contains 1000 L of a solution consisting of 100 kg of salt dissolved in water. Pure water is pumped into the tank at the rate of 5 L/s and the well-stilled mixture flows out at the same rate. How long will it be until 10 kg of salt remains in the tank?

A tank contains 1000 liters (L) of a solution consisting of $100 \mathrm{~kg}$ of salt dissolved in water. Pure water is pumped into the tank at the rate of $5 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{s}$, and the mixture - kept uniform by stirring $-$ is pumped out at the same rate. How long will it be until only $10 \mathrm{~kg}$ of salt remains in the tank?

A tank contains 1000 L of a solution consisting of 100 kg of salt dissolved in water. Pure water is pumped into the tank at the rate of 5 L/s, and the mixture, which is kept uniform by stirring, is pumped out at the same rate. How long will it be until only 10 kg of salt remains in the tank? Convert your answer to minutes, and round to the nearest tenth of a minute.
