Express the rational function that describes the situation. A large mixing tank currently contains 275 gallons of water, into which 5 pounds of sugar have been mixed. A tap will open, pouring 15 gallons of water per minute into the tank at the same time sugar is poured into the tank at a rate of 2 pounds per minute. Find the concentration (pounds per gallon) of sugar in the tank after t minutes. s(t)=
