Mike is conducting an experiment in which he places several different types of soil in a funnel and then pours one liter of water through each. He is careful to pack equal volumes of the soil samples tightly in the funnel and to make sure that only water makes it out of the bottom. He then records the amount of time it takes for half of the water to pass through the soil and out the bottom of the funnel. He records his data in the table below. Which soil sample is the least permeable?

@kayleebug29
did you get it
ok do u know what pereable means?
yea
tell me so i know that u do its ok if u dont
it means to allow liquids or gases to pass through
the state of a material that allows liquids or gases to pass through it. Different materials have different levels of permeability.
so which one doesnt allow much water to go through?
B?
the longer it takes to go througt the soil the less permeable
so its soil w
Do you get it?
yea thanks
