Answer:
60 kg
Explanation:
From the question above, we obtain the following information;
- Wood sample before frying = 120 kg
- Moisture in the sample is 50%
We are required to determine the mass of wood after drying. This is given by:
- multiplying the % of water in the mixture to remove it so that we remain with dry wood.
= 50/100 × 120 kg
= 60 kg dry wood
Therefore, the mass of dry wood is 60 kg.
