the coloring is 5% of the total mass of the oil Explanation: If you translate this phrase very literally, it will not be clear in English. So here I took the meaning as I understood from this bit of text, and formulated it fresh in English. So the sentence would read "The amount of coloring I usually use is 5% of the total mass of the oil, for all colors except white." Another possible phrase would be "to apply coloring at 5 percent of the oil's total mass." |

The sum of all the mass fractions is equal to 1. Mass fraction can also be expressed, with a denominator of 100, as percentage by mass. https://www.fxsolver.com/browse/formulas/Mass fraction |
