Question

A spaceship on a journey between planets would have to recycle as much air and water as possible. Suppose the crew on such a spaceship used 32.99 L of water one day and recycled all but 0.24 L. About what percent of the water was​ lost? (PLEASE TRY AND GET IT CORRECT BC I NEED HELP)

Answer 1

Answer: About 99.27% of water was​ lost.

Explanation:

Given: Water used in one day = 32.99 L

Quantity of water recycled = 0.24 L

Water lost = (Water used in one day) -(Quantity of water recycled)

= 32.99 L - 0.24 l

= 32.75 L

The percent of the water was​ lost =
`\frac{\text{Water lost}}{\text{Water used in one day }}* 100`

`=(32.75)/(32.99)*100\\\\\approx 99.27\%`

Hence, about 99.27% of water was​ lost.
