A sample of dry soil is coated with a thin layer of paraffin and has a mass of 460 g. It displaced 300 cc of water when immersed in it. The paraffin is peeled off and its mass was found to be 9 g. If the specific gravity of soil solids and paraffin are 2.65 and 0.9 respectively, the voids ratio of soil is nearly
