Gw=es.

2.7(.40) = e(1).
e=1.08.

S*e=w*G,
e=w*G/s.
e=.40*2.7/1,
= 1.08.

S*e = G*w.
e = 2.7*0.40 = 1.08.
The answer is 1.08.

S*e = G*w.

Where,
S = saturation (which is equal to 1 due to saturated state).
e = void ratio.
G = specific gravity.
w = water content.

e = 2.7 * 0.40 = 1.08.

The answer is 1.08.
