Dye for our new line of blue jeans is being blended in a mixing tank. The desired color of blue is produced using a concentration of 1500 ppm blue dye, with a minimum acceptable concentration of 1450 ppm. At 9 A.M. today the dye injector plugged, and the dye flow was interrupted for 10 min, until we realized the problem and unclogged the nozzle. For how many minutes was the flow leaving the mixer off- specification (< 1450 ppm)?

Question
Dye for our new line of blue jeans is being blended in a
mixing tank. The desired color of
blue is produced using a concentration of 1500 ppm blue
dye, with a minimum acceptable
concentration of 1450 ppm. At 9 A.M. today the dye
injector plugged, and the dye flow was
interrupted for 10 min, until we realized the problem and
unclogged the nozzle. For how
many minutes was the flow leaving the mixer off-
specification (< 1450 ppm)?
Water 20 gal/min
Concentrated
20 gal/min aqueous dye for jeans
(1500 ppm blue dye)
dye injector
7=100 gal
