Water is reduced by approximately 11/12.
Explanation:
Concentration of blood = 300 mOsm
COncentration of urine = 3600 mOsm
Water loss = ?
Let x be the water loss
So,
The concentration is 3600 mOsm from 300 mOsm of blood
From 1 mOsm of urine = the concentration of blood is [tex]\frac{300}{3600} = \frac{1}{12}[/tex] mOsm
[tex]3600 = 300 ( 1 - x)\\\\12 = 1 -x\\\\x = -11[/tex]
Negative sign indicates the loss.
water loss = [tex]11 X \frac{1}{12} = \frac{11}{12} \\\\[/tex]
Therefore, the water loss is 11/12
