My brain is fried on other subjects. Help me!

Given: Max Water Vapor Capacity for Air @ 70 degrees F (21 deg. C)= 8g/cubic foot.

At 60% relative humidity, the actual water vapor content is 4.8g/cubic foot.

If the room temperature were lowered to 60 degrees F (16 deg. C) at which the max water vapor capacity is 5.8g/cubic foot, calculate the new relative humidity.


help me get started here...

I would start by looking at where 60% (0.60) comes from -- then it will be easy to calculate from there.
