Question 3 3 The below results are obtained from a sieve analysis done on a sample with dry mass of 1550 g. The wet sieve analysis was carried out by washing 75 grams of the material passing the 0.425 mm sieve through the 0.075 mm sieve. After drying it was determined that 25 grams was retained on the 0.075 mm sieve. 3.1 Calculate and write the % retained and the cumulative % retained for each sieve that should be in the empty areas in the table.
