Best Answer

Children become dehydrated more quickly than adults because they have a much higher percentage of water in their bodies than adults do. A child has approximately 77% water compared to an adult who has approx 60%. It also will depend on the age of the child to what extent they become dehydrated. Hope this helps.

If an adult and child are on a seesaw with a movable fulcrum where should the fulcrum be moved to so that the child can lift the adult?
