Q2: Suppose you wish to lose 4.54 kg either through physical activity of by
dieting.
(a) How long would you have to work at an activity of 15 kal/min to lose
4.45 kg of proteins?

to lose 4.54 kg of proteins?
Yazid wants to make compost from leaves, sawdust, and food scraps. Leaves have 2% N, C:N 22.5, and MC 77%. Sawdust has 30% C, C:N 300, and MC 20%, whereas food scraps have 2% N, C:N 20, and 50% MC. If the amount of leaves used is 15 kg, determine how much food scraps and sawdust should be added to get a compost mixture with an ideal ratio of C:N 30:1 and moisture content 60%?
