21 Yuri investigates the water content of potatoes.

Yuri:

step 1 - cuts a piece of potato with a sharp knife into a cube of mass 10.0 g

step 2 - heats the cube of potato in a microwave for 1 minute

step 3 - uses a balance to find the mass of the cube of potato

step 4 - repeats steps 2 and 3 until the cube of potato has been heated for a total of 10 minutes.

(a) Here are his results.
