SUMMARY
The formula for dilution in a full tank with only fresh water inflow is defined as dy/dt = rate in - rate out. In this context, if the tank is filled with salt and only fresh water is introduced, the rate in is considered zero when calculating the remaining salt concentration over time. Here, 'y' represents the amount of salt or its concentration at time 't', and the only scenario where the rate in is non-zero is when salt is actively flowing into the tank.
