What is the percentage of water in your body?

Question

Not sure how to ask the question, but basically fill in this blank,
" Your body is __% water."

Answer 1

Take your pick since it is different based on what sex you are and on the source you are using. The body water percentage in men is about 55%, but it is only 51% in women (because women have a higher fat content).

As I stated, the information will vary. You will find sources that say "up to 60%", "50 to 65%", etc. If you need this for school, it would be helpful to know what your teacher stated or your textbook as that is the answer he/she will want.
