Explanation / Answer

Note for answers 7, 8, 9 and 10: Lets us see how we can make the process easier. Find the intersection of the lines that are marked on the scale of percentage for Silt, Sand and Clay. The intersection point will give you the texture of the soil. You should be able to find an intersection point with 3 lines that represent the percentage of the three compositions- sand, clay and silt.
