Answer:

The soil has a percentage of water by mass of 27.8 %.

Explanation:

Keeping in mind that

  • Mass of Clay = Mass of water + Mass of Dry Soil

we can calculate the mass of water:

  • 1350 g = Mass of Water + 975 g
  • Mass of Water = 375 g

We can then calculate the mass percentage of water in the soil:

  • 375 / 1350 * 100% = 27.8 %
