You have an air mass at 10°C that contains 1.8 grams of water vapor per kilogram of air (g/kg) (content). Air at 10°C has a maximum specific humidity of 7.6 g/kg grams (capacity). Using the equation given at the beginning of Section 1, what is the present relative humidity of this air mass? 24 %.

1.8/7.6 = 0.236
0.236 rounds to 0.24, which equals 24%
