10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the first vat will have 6 gallons * 10 minutes = 60 gallons of liquid.
After 10 minutes, the second vat will have 28 gallons + (4 gallons * 10 minutes) = 28 gallons + 40 gallons = 68 gallons of liquid.
Therefore, after 10 minutes, both vats will have the same amount of liquid.
Two pumps are filling large vats of liquid. One vat is empty, and the pump is filling it at a rate of 6 gallons per minute. The other vat already contains 28 gallons and is continuing to fill at a rate of 4 gallons per minute. When will the two vats have the same amount of liquid? (1 point)
