Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the data given in the exercise $\frac{8}{25}$ 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:

$\frac{8}{25}=0.32$

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.
