5. The third problem is the first in reverse.

%solids = 100-% moisture = 86

fraction solids = 0.86

(18)(0.86)=(15.48)

(the 1.000 g information is completely irrelevant)

%DWB=%AR / (fraction solids)

% as received (AR) = 31.2

% dry weight basis (DWB) = 31.6

31.6=31.2/?

?=0.9873 = fraction solids

% solids = 98.7

4. My answer to the second problem is 14% moisture. Is that correct? this is what I did: I used the
formula  % DWB (g dry/g AR) = % ARB
% DWB (0.22/.20) = 22% 100 - % DWB - 66% (additive) = 14% Is that right?
=> the problem stated the general composition of the sample(fish meal): 20% protein, 12% moisture
and 66% additive.

     => Also analyst tried to re-analyzed the sample and from that re-analysis, got a result of 22%
protein.

     => From that in mind, we were ask to find if there is still a moisture content after the sample is
re-analyzed, more specifically after drying it in an oven. We can conclude therefore that the moisture
of the sample base from re-analysis is < 12% since some of it was remained on the sample. Going
further to our solution,
%solid = %DWB/%AR * 100 , where %DWB = 20
                                                                      %AR    = 22

                            = 20/22 * 100
                            = 90.91%

                 therefore,

                    % moisture of the sample(re-analysis) = 100-90.91

                                                                           = 9.09 %

                 finally,

                     % moisture remained in the dried sample = 12-9.09

                                                                                 = 2.91 %
