Sand sample was collected from the field. The in-situ void ratio of this sand was 0.758 and specific gravity was 2.65. The maximum and minimum dry density tests were performed on this sand using a one litre compaction mould. In the loosest state, 1342 g of dry sand was placed in the mould. At its densest state, 1766 g of wet sand (at 8% water content) was placed in the mould. Estimate the relative density of this sand in the field. Provide your answer in percentage.
