Problem

A beaker contains a solution whose concentration is defined as C(t)=m(t)V(t)C(t)=\dfrac{m(t)}{V(t)}, where m(t)m(t) is the mass of solute in grams and V(t)V(t) is the volume of solution in milliliters. At an instant when m(t)m(t) is constant and V(t)V(t) is increasing, determine whether C(t)C(t) is increasing, decreasing, or constant at that instant and briefly justify your answer in one sentence.
