A tank initially holds 245 liters of brine solution containing 25 Ibm (pound mass) of salt. At t = 0, fresh water is poured into the tank at a rate of 7 gpm, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the same rate. Theoretically, at what time will the salt reduce by 40% assuming consistent rates from start to finish?
