Hello!
Reading the worksheet shows you how to find the concentration of liquid water in a substance, but when converting a decimal to a percentage, remember that ALL percentages are out of 100, so, we multiply the decimal by 100 to convert it into a percentage.
Liquid A: total amount: 10 millimeters & amount of water: 7 millimeters
7/10 = 0.7 × 100 = 70%
Liquid B: total amount: 100 millimeters & amount of water: 92 millimeters
92/100 = 0.92 × 100 = 92%
Liquid C: total amount: 15 millimeters & amount of water: 13 millimeters
13/15 = 0.867 × 100 = 86.7%
Liquid D: total amount: 28 millimeters & amount of water: 22 millimeters
22/28 = 0.786 × 100 = 78.6%
Final answers:
- Liquid A: 70%
- Liquid B: 92%
- Liquid C: 86.7%
- Liquid D: 78.6%
