When Processing Flower-nectar Into Honeybees' Extract, A Considerable Amount Of Water Gets Reduced. How Much Flower-nectar Must Be Processed To Yield 1kg Of Honey, If Nectar Contains 50% Water, And The Honey Obtained From This Nectar Contains 15% Water ?

Answer»

Flower-nectar contains 50% of non-water part. 

In honey this non-water part constitutes 85% (100-15).

Therefore 0.5 X Amount of flower-nectar = 0.85 X Amount of honey = 0.85 X 1 kg 

Therefore amount of flower-nectar needed = (0.85/0.5) * 1KG = 1.7 kg.
