Question

About 60% of the human body is water. At this rate, how many pounds of water are in the body of a 95-pound person?

Answer 1

57 hope it helps you out

Answer 2

95 = 95% =
`(unknown)/(95)`
60% =
`(60)/(100)`

`(60)/(100) = (3)/(5)`
You get
`(3)/(5)` by dividing the numerator and denominator of
`(60)/(100)` both by 12.
Next

`(unknown)/(95)` ÷
`(3)/(5)` =
`(57)/(95)` ÷
`(3)/(5)`
You get
`(57)/(95)` because you know that the denominator, 5, gets to 95 by multiplying it by 19. You multiply the numerator, 3, by 19 to get 57.
ANSWER:
57 pounds of water
