you are out in the bush and the only water available to drink is in a muddy waterhole. you have an empty bottle and a cup. how would you remove dirt from the muddy water so that you could drink the water?

thomaster (thomaster):

You can filter the water but you would need a piece of cloth for that. If the cup is made from metal you can boil muddy water and condensate the steam and put it in the bottle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have to use centrifugation method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
