10. Sieve analysis and hydrometer analysis were performed on a soil sample. The table below summarizes the results of these analyses. Determine the percentage of gravel, sand and fines of the soil using USCS. If the clay particles are less than 0.002 mm in diameter, determine the silt and clay percentages. Note: For the clay percentage, express your answer to the nearest whole number. .
