Water moves at a speed of 6 feet per second through an 8-inch steel pipe. The pipe splits into two sections downstream: an 8-inch main and a 2-in-bypass. The bypass is 22 feet long, whereas the 8-inch pipe in the bypassed part is 16 feet long. What percentage of total water flow travels through the bypass when the entrance exit is ignored?
