Tank A contains 50 lbs of salt dissolved in 500 gal of water. Tank B contains 100 lbs of salt dissolved in 500 gal of water. The mixture from tank A is pumped to tank B at the rate of 250 gal per hr, while the mixture from tank B is pumped to tank A at the same rate. Assume that the mixture in each tank is uniform by stirring. Let A(t ) and B(t ) be the amount of salt in tanks A and B after t hours, respectively.

(a) Draw a two-compartment model for A(t ) and B(t ) .
(b) Use the initial conditions A(0) = 50 and B(0) =100 to solve for A and B.
(c) What are the equilibrium values of A and B?
