Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, he can add the rock salt to the water and mix it well. Then he can remove the sand by decantation, after the sand has sedimented. He can seperate the water from the salt by evaporation. He should evaporate the water completely and capture the steam. the steam will cool into water. After evaporating completely, the salt will remain in the container
