Question

When processing flower nectar into honeybees' extract, a considerable amount of water gets reduced. How much flower nectar must be processed to yield 1kg of honey, if nectar contains 50% water, and the honey obtained from this nectar contains 15% water?

1.5 kgs
1.7 kgs
3.33 kgs
None of these

Answer 1

To find -:

We need to determine :

• The amount of flower nectar must be processed to yield 1 kg of pure honey

Let's solve -:

Flower-nectar contains 30% of non-water part.

In honey this non-water part constitutes (100 − 17) % or 83%

Therefore,

(0.3) x Amount of flower-nectar = (0.83) x Amount of honey = 0.83 × 1 kg = 0.83 kg

Hence, the amount of flower-nectar needed = (0.83/0.3) = 2.77 kg
