Type the correct answer in the box.

The maximum water vapor that air can hold at 30°C is about 30 grams/cubic meter. If the humidity of the air is currently 6 grams/cubic meter at the same temperature, the relative humidity is _______ %.

To calculate the relative humidity, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Relative Humidity} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Vapor Density}}{\text{Saturation Vapor Density}} \right) \times 100 \]

Given that the actual vapor density is 6 grams/cubic meter and the saturation vapor density at 30°C is 30 grams/cubic meter, you can substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Relative Humidity} = \left( \frac{6 \text{ g/m}^3}{30 \text{ g/m}^3} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Relative Humidity} = \left( \frac{6}{30} \right) \times 100 = 0.2 \times 100 = 20 \]

Therefore, the relative humidity is 20%.
