the number of kilo gram of water in human body varies directly as the mass of the body. A 96kg person contains 64kg of water. how many kilo gram of water are in a 60kg person? (show your solution)
Hi there, Body weight = k x Water content k = constant of proportionality 96 = k 64 k = 96/64 k = 1.5 Body weight = 1.5 Water content 60 = 1.5 Water content Water content = 60/1.5 Water content = 40 kg. Hope this helps :-)
