Answer #1

About 90 percent of this water is absorbed in the small intestine. In general 7 liters received by the small intestine daily as secretions

So it was depicted that

Total ml = 7000ml

Volume entering the large intestine: 600 mL
Volume leaving the large intestine: 170 mL

percentage of the water entering the small intestine is absorbed by the large intestine?

600 - 170 = 430 ml

(430/ 7000 )* 100 = 6.14 percent

In contrast, 6.14 % of the water entering to the small intestine is absorbed by the large intestine.
