Question

when determining soil texture, the percentages of the three soil particle types add up to 100%. if a soil had 33% clay and 34% silt, what would be the percentage of sand? 43% 33% 13%

Explanation:

Step1: <Calculate the sum of clay and silt percentages>

The sum of clay and silt percentages is \(33\% + 34\%=67\%\)

Step2: <Find the percentage of sand>

Since the total percentage of the three soil particle types is \(100\%\), the percentage of sand is \(100\% - 67\% = 33\%\)

Answer:

\(33\%\)
