Water constitutes approximately 8/25 of the body of an average adult female.About what percent of the average adult female body is made out of water?

Answer 1

Answer: About 32% of the average adult female body is made out of water.

Explanation:

According to the data given in the exercise
`(8)/(25)` of the body of an average adult female is made out of water.

Then, you need to convert from fraction to percent. The steps are:

1. Divide the numerator of the fraction (In this case the numerator is 8) by the denominator of the fraction (In this case the denominator is 25). Then:

`(8)/(25)=0.32`

2. Multiply the result 0.32 by 100:

`0.32*100=32\%`

Therefore, about 32% of the average adult female body is made out of water.
