Answer and explanation:

1. In one minute, there would be zero pounds of salt in the bucket because there's 0.25 pounds of salt in one minute and 0.5 gallons of water leaves the bucket in same minute, eliminating the 0.25 pounds of salt.

2. In ten minutes there would be zero pounds of salt because theres 0.25×10= 2.5 pounds of salt and 0.5×10=5 gallons of water would leave the bucket, eliminating the salt.

3. In 60 minutes there would still be zero salt because water leaves the bucket more than salt enters

4. Zero salt too after bucket leaks

5. Zero salt
