8. A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70°F and is taken outside, where the air
temperature is 15°F. After two minutes the thermometer reads 50°F. How long will it take for the thermometer
to reach 20°F?

9. A large tank holds 300 gallons of a brine solution. Salt is entering and leaving the tank; a brine solution is
pumped into the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min; it is mixed with the solution there, and then the mixture is
pumped out at a rate of 3 gal/min. The concentration of the salt in the inflow, or solution entering, is 2 lb/gal. If
50 pounds of salt is dissolved initially in the 300 gallons, how much salt is in the tank after 1 hour?
a. 208.51 lb b. 298.15 lb c. 315.88 lb d. 395.81 lb
