Distribution of Weight in Human Body
1.
What percentage of proteins of the human body is equivalent to the weight of its skin ?

How does (10/24) come I don't understand please elaborate?

Wait = x.
x(24/10 )= 1/10.
x = (1/10)/(24/100).
also you can write it x = (1/10)*(100/24).
=1*10/24 = 10/24 = .4166 if we want % so .4166*100 = 41.66%.
x(24/10 )= 1/10.
x = (1/10)/(24/100).
also you can write it x = (1/10)*(100/24).
=1*10/24 = 10/24 = .4166 if we want % so .4166*100 = 41.66%.

Proteins = 24%.
Skin = 1/10. Now multiply with 100 to convert into PERCENTAGE value.
Skin = 1/10(100) = 10%.
=> (10/24)*100 = 41.66%.
Skin = 1/10. Now multiply with 100 to convert into PERCENTAGE value.
Skin = 1/10(100) = 10%.
=> (10/24)*100 = 41.66%.

Question asked is what % of protein is equivalent to skin, so (x/100)*(24%).
i.e (x/100)*(24/100) = 1/10.
x = 1000/24 = 41.666%.
i.e (x/100)*(24/100) = 1/10.
x = 1000/24 = 41.666%.

Now first skin 1/10 = protein 24%.
Now 24/100 to move inside so 100/24*1/10 = ans is 416666 then total human body 100% that's why 100*.41666.
So final answer is 41.6666.
Now 24/100 to move inside so 100/24*1/10 = ans is 416666 then total human body 100% that's why 100*.41666.
So final answer is 41.6666.

Let x be the total body weight which is equal to pie charts.
Weight of proteins in body = (x * 24/100) --> (0.24x) (according to pie chart 2) --> 1.
Weight of skin =x* (1/10) -->>(0.1x) (according to pie chart 1) --> 2.
--> Required what % of proteins in the human body is = to the weight of its skin.
Let p% of proteins weight = weight of skin.
P/100* (0.24x) = 0.1 x From 1& 2 equations.
P = (0.1x / 0.24x) * 100.
P = 41.66.
Weight of proteins in body = (x * 24/100) --> (0.24x) (according to pie chart 2) --> 1.
Weight of skin =x* (1/10) -->>(0.1x) (according to pie chart 1) --> 2.
--> Required what % of proteins in the human body is = to the weight of its skin.
Let p% of proteins weight = weight of skin.
P/100* (0.24x) = 0.1 x From 1& 2 equations.
P = (0.1x / 0.24x) * 100.
P = 41.66.

Total percentage is 100.
Water + Other + Protein = 100%.
1. Water = 65%.
2. Protein = 24%.
3. Other = 11%.
Remaining is 10%.
Now calculate the protein percentage.
Solution:
(Remaining 10/protein 24) * (total 100).
Answer: 41.667%.
Water + Other + Protein = 100%.
1. Water = 65%.
2. Protein = 24%.
3. Other = 11%.
Remaining is 10%.
Now calculate the protein percentage.
Solution:
(Remaining 10/protein 24) * (total 100).
Answer: 41.667%.

1/10 in percentage is 10%.
Then question became (what % of 24% is equal to 10%).
X24/100 = 10/100.
X = 10/24 = 0.4166.
%X = 0.4166 x 100 = 41.66.
Then question became (what % of 24% is equal to 10%).
X24/100 = 10/100.
X = 10/24 = 0.4166.
%X = 0.4166 x 100 = 41.66.

Shouldn't it be divided by 360? Since it is a pie chart?
Please clear by doubt.
