To determine the moisture content , samples of fine and coarse aggregate from the supplied source were collected in measuring trays and were dried in an oven. The initial weights and ovendry weights of sample aggregates in the tray are shown in the table. Determine the moisture content in the given fine and coarse   Assume that the saturated surface dry SSD moisture conditions for fine and coarse aggregate are 1 percent and 2 percent, respectively. Determine the total free-water (extra moisture) in the concrete mix, if 220 kg of fine aggregate and 425 kg of coarse aggregate from the given source were to be used for preparing mix.
