You use a magnet, the magnet will remove the iron filings.
hi hi,
what you can do is that, get a strong magnet and place it above the mixture. The iron fillings will be attracted to the magnet since it is a magnetic material. In the end you'll be left with salt only (:

∙ 10y agoIf you have a mixture of salt, sand, and iron filings, you can remove the iron filings with a magnet, since the salt and sand are not magnetic, and you can then dissolve the salt, leaving behind the sand which is not soluble in water (if you need to have the salt in its original form, you can then boil away the water in which you dissolved it).
