Both the compositions are given for the entire body. How can we find the composition in an individual component. The answer should be data inadequate.

The answer should be data inadequate as the fraction of proteins in boned has not been provides in the question.

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%.

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%.

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%.

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.

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.
