Question

Water makes up about 60% of the average adult's body weight. Represent this percent by shading in the squares.

Answer 1

shading three boxes

Explanation:

It is given that :

The body weight of an average adult = 60%

We have to show this by shading the square boxes shown.

There are 5 square boxes in total which makes up 100%.

So divide 100 by 5, we can 20% for each box.

So, 20% + 20% + 20% will give us 60%

Therefore, shading three boxes will give us 60% which is the water percent in an average adult's body weight.

This is represented by the figure below.
