Answer: 94.2%
Explanation:
Water that isn't absorbed by the small intestine is what passes into the large intestine.
If 560 mL entered the large intestine then that is the amount that was not absorbed by the small intestine which means that the amount absorbed by the small intestine is:
= Amount entering small intestine - amount entering large intestine
= 9,600 - 560
= 9,040 mL
The percentage abosorbed is:
= Amount absorbed in small intestine / Amount entering small intestine
= 9,040 / 9,600 * 100%
= 94.2%
