You have to raise the moisture content from 9% (initial) to 14% (optimum moisture content)... that is, raise the moisture content by 5%.

Just make sure you focus VERY carefully on the units... and you'll usually get to the right answer.

0.05 is the difference between the optimum moisture content (14%) and the moisture content of the soil upon arrival to the site (9%).
