Question

Fresh fruit contains 68% water and dry fruit contains 20% water. How much dry fruit can be obtained from 100 kg of fresh fruits ? 1/1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

40 Dry Fruits

We Have :-

Fresh Fruits contains 68% water

Dry Fruit contains 20% water

To Find :-

How much dry fruit can be obtained from 100 kg of fresh fruits

Solution :-

We have 100 Kg Fresh Fruits

100 Kg Fresh Fruits contains :-

68 Kg Water

100 - 68 = 32

32 Kg Dry Part

Dry Fruits have 20% Water

100 - 20 = 80

80 Kg Dry Part

Now :-

1 Dry part makes 100 / 80 Dry fruits

32 Kg Dry parts makes ( 100 / 80 ) × 32 Dry fruits

ie 40 Dry fruits

so 100 Fresh Fruits contains 40 Dry fruits

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Fresh fruit contains 72% water So, 100 Kgs. of fresh fruits will contain 72 Kgs. of water and 28 Kgs. of solid material.

When 100 Kgs. of fresh fruits are dried, 28 Kgs. of solid material will remain while a part of the 72 Kgs. of water will evaporate.

Given that these 28 Kgs. of solid material will account for 80% of the overall weight of dried fruits (as only 20% of the weight in dried fruit is water).

If 80% of the weight of dry fruits =28 Kgs., then 100% of dry fruits will weigh

80\28 ×100=35Kg
