Question 16

A gardener placed 4.5 kg of fresh grass clippings into a compost heap. After $days30\text{ days}$ , the gardener reweighed the grass clippings and found that the mass had decreased to 3.6 kg. Calculate the rate of decomposition of the grass clippings in $kg/day\text{kg/day}$ . Use the equation:

\text{rate of decomposition} = \frac{\text{change in mass}}{\text{time taken}}
