Question

Relative humidity (%)= actual moisture content ___________________ x 100 saturation moisture content if the actual moisture content remains constant and the saturation moisture content increases, what happens to the relative humidity?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  relative humidity decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

When the denominator of a fraction increases as the numerator remains the same, the value of the fraction decreases.

For example,

  1/2 > 1/3

In the relation ...

  $RH=\dfrac{\text{actual moisture content}}{\text{saturation moisture content}}\times100\%$

The value of relative humidity (RH) will decrease when "saturation moisture content" increases.
