The protein percentage is 16.
And skin is 1/10.
16 * 1/10 = 1.6.
And skin is 1/10.
16 * 1/10 = 1.6.

X% = 16% * 1/10.
X/100 = (16/100) * (1/10).
X = 16/10.
X = 1.6.
X/100 = (16/100) * (1/10).
X = 16/10.
X = 1.6.

Assuming that water, proteins and other dry elements are uniformly distributed across various body parts given in the 1st pie chart. It should be mentioned in the question.

Put most simply: 1/10 = 0.1.
16% of 0.1 = (0.1 * 0.16) = 0.016.
As a percentage: 0.016 * 100 = 1.6%.
16% of 0.1 = (0.1 * 0.16) = 0.016.
As a percentage: 0.016 * 100 = 1.6%.

Wt of proteins = 16%.
Wt of Skin = 1/10. converting in to %value => 1/10*100 = 10%.
Wt of proteins in skin = 16% * 10%.
Human body Wt = 100%.
=>(16*10)/100 = 1.6%.
Wt of Skin = 1/10. converting in to %value => 1/10*100 = 10%.
Wt of proteins in skin = 16% * 10%.
Human body Wt = 100%.
=>(16*10)/100 = 1.6%.

Proteins, 16% in 100% = 0.16%.
Skin 1/10*100= 10%.
Proteins in skin= 0.16% * 10% =1.6%.
Skin 1/10*100= 10%.
Proteins in skin= 0.16% * 10% =1.6%.
