Same question, both times
A tank fills at 3 L/min for 4 minutes, then drains at 500 mL/s for 10 seconds. Net litres?
No contextPASS

The tank fills at a rate of \(3\) L/min over a duration of \(4\) min, which contributes a volume of \[ 3\,\mathrm{L/min}\times 4\,\mathrm{min}=12\,\mathrm{L}. \] It then drains at \(500\) mL/s for \(10\) s. Converting the drain rate gives \[ 500\,\mathrm{mL/s}=0.5\,\mathrm{L/s}, \] so the volume removed is \[ 0.5\,\mathrm{L/s}\times 10\,\mathrm{s}=5\,\mathrm{L}. \] The net volume remaining is therefore \[ 12\,\mathrm{L}-5\,\mathrm{L}=7\,\mathrm{L}. \] Answer: 7 L

General contextPASS

The tank fills at a rate of \(3\,\mathrm{L/min}\) for \(4\,\mathrm{min}\), which contributes a volume of \[ 3\times4=12\,\mathrm{L}. \] It then drains at a rate of \(500\,\mathrm{mL/s}\) for \(10\,\mathrm{s}\). Converting the drain rate into litres gives \(500\,\mathrm{mL}=0.5\,\mathrm{L}\), so the volume removed is \[ 0.5\times10=5\,\mathrm{L}. \] The net volume remaining is therefore \[ 12-5=7\,\mathrm{L}. \] Answer: 7 L

12 L in, 5 L out, net 7 L. The mixed units are the trap.

never pooled · a trap ratio would skew the delta

Residual — what survives

Unchanged by context: 0% with none, 0% with the strongest supplied source. For a control mode that flat line is the result — it is what licenses reading movement elsewhere in this loop as grounding rather than as a document being present. Nothing survives at the best condition on the cases measured here.
