Answer:

45 kg of water

Explanation:

About 0.6 of the human body is made up of water. if a person has a mass of 75 kilograms, we can find the mass of water by multiplying the body mass (75 kg) by the fraction of water in the human body (0.6). That is,

75 kg × 0.6 = 45 kg

A 75 kg-person has about 45 kg of water.
