Question
A student weighed some raisins and recorded the weight as ‘x’. She then soaked the raisins in distilled water. After about 2 hours she removed the raisins, wiped them dry and weighed them again, and recorded that as ‘y’. The percentage of water absorbed by raisins may be determined using the relationship.
Options
`(y-x)/yxx100`
`(y-x)/x xx100`
`(y-x)/x xx1/100`
`(y-x)xx100`
Solution
Not in Current Syllabus
The percentage of water absorbed by raisins is calculated using the formula
`(y-x)/x xx100`
Where, x is the dry weight of the raisins and y is the weight of the raisins after soaking in water.
