The human body is 70% water on average. About how much water will be in a person that weighs 140 pounds?

For this, you would need to find 70% of 140. To do so you must do the following: 140 x 0.7, which would lead you to the following answer: 98. So, if someone were to weigh 140 pounds, they would have around 98 pounds of water in their body!
I hope this was helpful, and if you need any more help, please let me know so I can further assist you.
